Interesting signal coming from the regulatory side this week. The Federal Reserve just clarified how banks should treat tokenized securities — and honestly, the takeaway is simple: the rules don’t really change just because blockchain is involved.
According to the Fed, if a security is tokenized and meets the same legal and risk standards as a traditional one, it can be treated exactly the same under capital rules. In other words, whether it’s issued on a normal system or on a blockchain… regulators see it through the same lens.
This update came through a new FAQ document where the Fed emphasized something important — their framework is “technology neutral.” Even the type of blockchain doesn’t matter. Permissioned or permissionless, it doesn’t change the capital treatment. If banks want to use tokenized securities as collateral, they just need to follow the same risk and legal requirements as they would with any regular asset.
What caught my eye here is the timing. Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also reminded everyone that tokenized securities still fall under federal securities laws.
So here’s the real question. If regulators are starting to clarify the rules… are we finally getting closer to mainstream tokenized markets? 🤔
