According to Bloomberg, the SEC plans to advance two cryptocurrency regulatory initiatives in the coming days, including holding a public meeting this Friday to discuss establishing tailored issuance frameworks for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets, as well as preparing to unveil an “innovation exemption” proposal for tokenized securities. Sources familiar with the matter say the latter could be announced as early as Friday, potentially paving the way for 24/7 on-chain trading of stock tokens. The latest proposal may allow public companies to oppose third parties tokenizing their shares and could require relevant trading platforms to implement enhanced AML measures for U.S. entities. The SEC originally intended to release this exemption in May but delayed it after gathering feedback from securities exchanges, public companies, and other market participants. Meanwhile, the Clarity Act, previously stalled due to partisan disputes over ethical restrictions on crypto activities by public officials, has seen a cloture motion filed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune in preparation for a procedural vote in mid-September. https://t.co/x6dxhe0jp7
