House Financial Services Committee is holding a hearing today on securities tokenization. As everyone knows, securities are becoming digital. This will bring significant improvements to all component parties, including issuers, investors and the platforms that enable these transactions.
The hearing note includes the following statements:
“This hearing will examine how tokenization is used in our capital markets and whether existing securities laws and regulations adequately govern these activities. It will also explore potential regulatory gaps, uncertainties or duplicative requirements that could pose risks to investors or hinder innovation. Additionally, the hearing will consider the broader implications of tokenization in terms of market integrity, investor protection and capital formation.”
The following people will testify before the Committee:
- Kenneth Bentsen, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, SIFMA
- summer myrtleChief Executive Officer, Blockchain Association
- Christian SabellaGeneral Manager and Deputy General Counsel, DTCC
- John ZeccaExecutive Vice President and Global Legal, Risk and Regulatory Officer, Nasdaq
