Yes, trading equities on crypto-style rails is now officially permitted in the United States. Under a long-awaited "innovation exemption" rolled out by the Securities and Exchange Commission, domestic markets are now open to tokenized stock trading.
The new framework allows venues to host conventional company shares traded like digital assets, marking a decisive shift in how the federal regulator oversees tokenized securities. The concession arrives with significant political friction.
