Derived from 528btc, Citadel Securities has urged the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to reject a broad exemption for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms trading tokenized U.S. stocks, arguing that these platforms operate similarly to exchanges and pose risks in transparency, compliance, and custody. The hedge fund emphasized that investor protections should not be overlooked despite supporting innovation. The move has drawn criticism from the crypto industry, with some noting that Citadel recently lost several legal staff to crypto firms and its CEO invested in a Solana-focused company.
