SEC Chair Paul Atkins said public blockchains are more transparent than any legacy financial system. The SEC has introduced an “innovation exemption” that allows tokenized shares of Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and other stocks to trade 24/7 on blockchain with almost zero full registration. Ripple is part of the UK government’s tokenization team, and JP Morgan and BlackRock have already tokenized U.S. Treasuries on the XRP Ledger. Those tokenized assets can trade on XRP Ledger RWA marketplaces.
