Calling it “a major breakthrough,” Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, commended the latest initiative by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The U.S. regulatory agency introduced a temporary regulatory framework authorizing the trading of tokenized Wall Street equities using native decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure, operating directly on public blockchains and via automated market makers (AMMs).
The SEC’s innovation exemption enables 24/7 onchain trading of tokenized $STRC and $MSTR for U.S. investors through qualifying venues. A major breakthrough for Digital Credit and American capital markets. https://t.co/sLIiSV5J9Q

Through this move, the agency builds a historic bridge between traditional finance and decentralized technology. The framework establishes a five-year sandbox in which U.S.-listed stocks can be traded through auditable smart contracts, while also offering conditional exemptions to liquidity providers under the Securities Exchange Act. For the broader market, this validates the institutional utility of public ledgers and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
In the upcoming phases, the ecosystem will monitor the first pilot programs running under strict volume caps and SEC-approved asset lists. The success of these trials will determine whether capital markets formally migrate to blockchain rails in the coming years.
