Summary

The SEC granted a 5-year conditional exemption permitting tokenized securities venues (TSVs) using automated market makers (AMMs) to trade native tokenized equities onchain, sparking broad crypto gains. Bitcoin surged 6% to $81.1K, but layer-1 and DeFi tokens tied to tokenization infrastructure rallied harder: Solana +12%, NEAR +32%, Arbitrum +26%, Uniswap +20%. The exemption limits venues to 75 tickers and 0.25% of each stock's prior-month daily volume, requires native tokenization with full shareholder rights and dividends parity, and allows issuers to opt out—constraints that Goldman analysts believe will keep the impact contained to smaller venues and limit threat to traditional exchanges.

Just days after cryptocurrencies tumbled on Tuesday when the CLARITY act failed to pass the Senate, crypto is surging to close out the week after the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an "Innovation Exemption" order which cleared tokenized stocks to trade onchain. The decision sent bitcoin above $81K, but it was the tokenization-focused assets like Solana, Ether and the NEAR protocol as well DeFis, that really soared.Understandably, the tokens that ran hardest are the ones tied to trading securities onchain: Bitcoin last changed hands at $81,100, up 6% over 24 hours and 2.

3% over seven days. Ether was at $2,683, up 6% on the day while Solana, long a tokenization favorite, surged more than 12% above $113. Additionally, NEAR Protocol rose 32%, Starknet 27%, Arbitrum 26% and Uniswap 20%.

Among the 15 biggest tokens, Hyperliquid added 12% to $92.20, Solana 9.6% to $110, Dogecoin 7.
