SEC Hosts Roundtable on Tokenization, Bridging TradFi and DeFi
1min read On May 12, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will host a roundtable discussion titled "Tokenization—Moving Assets Onchain: Where TradFi and DeFi Meet." The event, scheduled to take place at the SEC's headquarters in Washington, D.C., will feature a keynote address by SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. The roundtable aims to explore how tokenization can bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), potentially revolutionizing capital markets.
The roundtable will be divided into two main sessions. The first session, "Capital Markets 2.0," will focus on how tokenized assets are reshaping capital markets and the necessary infrastructure for asset tokenization. Panelists from leading financial institutions will participate in this discussion. The second session, "The Future of Tokenization," will delve into the legal, technological, and regulatory aspects of tokenized finance. This panel will include representatives from various financial and legal sectors.
The event is part of the SEC's ongoing efforts to engage with the crypto sector and address regulatory challenges related to digital assets. The roundtable follows a series of discussions introduced earlier this year, including a meeting with a tokenization platform to develop approaches for a blockchain-based securities framework. The SEC's Crypto task Force has been at the forefront of these initiatives, with a commissioner noting that tokenization could "substantially change many aspects of our financial markets."
The roundtable will be streamed live through the SEC's official website, allowing for broader participation and transparency. In-person attendees must register, while online viewers can join without signing up. The event is expected to provide valuable insights into the future of tokenization and its potential to integrate TradFi and DeFi, fostering innovation and efficiency in the financial sector.
