On May 12, the U.S. SEC released a document detailing the rule amendment proposal for tokenized securities previously submitted by the NYSE, stating that the NYSE's tokenized securities proposal has automatically become officially effective. The NYSE submitted this rule change application on May 1, 2026, and the announcement was made by the U.S. SEC on May 12. According to SEC regulations, proposed rule changes automatically take effect 30 days after submission (or a shorter time specified by the SEC) as long as they do not significantly affect investor protection or the public interest and do not impose any significant burden on competition.
