Taylor Lindman, Chief Counsel of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, talked about transfer agents increasingly acting as tokenizers; allowing issuers to directly register shares onchain rather than relying entirely on the traditional chain of intermediaries.
He framed it as still small today, but potentially a major shift in U.S. market structure: issuers getting closer to shareholders, investors holding assets more directly, and securities moving through a very different infrastructure than the one markets have used for decades.
His words: “a bit of a revolution” in U.S. securities markets.
Tokenization is starting to move from an abstract idea to a real market-structure discussion.
