Commissioner Uyeda says SEC rules shouldn’t create ‘unnecessary roadblocks’ as tokenization advances

SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda has emphasized that the agency’s regulatory framework should not act as an impediment to the burgeoning field of asset tokenization. In recent remarks, Uyeda highlighted that as the technology for representing real-world assets on blockchains evolves, the SEC must ensure its rules do not create ‘unnecessary roadblocks’ for market participants. He noted that tokenization offers significant opportunities for increasing market efficiency, reducing settlement times, and enhancing transparency. Uyeda called for a more proactive and clear regulatory approach, suggesting that current securities laws should be applied in a way that fosters innovation rather than stifling it through ambiguity or overly restrictive enforcement. His stance highlights a critical internal discussion at the SEC regarding how to balance investor protection with the competitive need for technological advancement in the digital asset space.
