DeFi groups have criticized Citadel Securities’ push to classify intermediaries in tokenized stock trading as “flawed,” calling it misleading. The DeFi Education Fund, a16z, The Digital Chamber, and Uniswap Foundation argue that decentralized protocols operate without custody and shouldn’t face the same rules as traditional exchanges. Citadel supports tokenization but insists on investor protections. The SEC recently allowed DTC to offer tokenized assets, signaling openness to innovation. The debate over securities vs commodities remains central as liquidity and crypto markets evolve.
