SIFMA supports innovation and regulatory clarity for tokenized securities. The @SECGov innovation exemption includes important guardrails, though questions remain around investor protection, market integrity and fragmentation. We welcome public comment and further rulemaking.
🚨 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of “exchange” in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.

This is a gap that needs to be closed: there should be parity between 401(k) and 403(b) plans. We support the legislation proposed by @SenKatieBritt and @SenatorWarnock and hope Congress passes it.
.@SIFMA President and CEO Kenneth Bentsen agrees: There is no reason to deny teachers, nurses, and nonprofit workers retirement choices already available through 401(k) plans. My bipartisan bill mandates nothing, it simply gives these hardworking Americans the same options as everyone else.

In connection with the HFSC hearing on fraud, SIFMA submitted a statement outlining the industry’s perspective and practical steps to strengthen fraud prevention and cross-sector collaboration: sifma.org/advocacy/letters/h…
We appreciate the Committee’s focus on this important issue.
WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill delivers opening remarks at today's hearing:
"Fraud and scams are not a new challenge, but the scale and complexity of the problem, as Bill just outlined, are increasing rapidly and posing greater costs on both American families and on the financial services arena and on our small businesses. Americans reported losses of $12.5 billion in 2024, a 25% increase.”
