SEC might release a regulatory framework for tokenized stocks as early as this week, as Wall Street accelerates its push into on-chain securities
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to introduce a new regulatory framework for trading tokenized stocks, which could be announced as early as this week. It is reported that the SEC is studying an "innovation exemption" mechanism, allowing trading platforms to offer digital versions of listed securities on-chain under more relaxed regulatory conditions. This move is seen as a significant signal that U.S. regulators are further shifting towards supporting tokenized securities.Currently, multiple Wall Street institutions have accelerated their layout in related businesses. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to launch limited production trading of tokenized assets in July and expand promotion in October; Nasdaq is developing a blockchain-based stock issuance framework; and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is advancing tokenized stocks and crypto-related products through its partnership with OKX.SEC Chairman Paul Atkins previously stated that the SEC is considering establishing formal rules for on-chain trading systems, blockchain settlement infrastructure, and crypto custody models, and believes that existing securities regulations are no longer suitable for on-chain protocols that integrate trading, clearing, and settlement.

Elliptic CEO: Cryptographic security is evolving into an AI arms race, and compliance teams struggle to keep up with transaction volumes at machine speed
According to CoinDesk, Simone Maini, CEO of blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, stated that the biggest emerging risk to crypto security is not larger-scale hacking attacks, but rather AI-driven financial activity operating at a speed and scale that human compliance teams cannot keep up with. As AI lowers the barriers to hacking, scams, and fraud, security firms like Elliptic are responding by deploying AI agents to analyze on-chain data in real time—sparking an automated arms race between adversaries and defenders. Maini noted that current compliance systems remain heavily reliant on manual review, and the global pool of compliance analysts specializing in digital assets is simply insufficient to meet future demand. Elliptic has raised $120 million in funding—including from Nasdaq and Deutsche Bank—to build an “agent-based compliance system” that leverages AI to automate transaction monitoring and investigation workflows, thereby reducing the cost per alert and per investigation.

BIT: Bitcoin Faces Short-Term Pressure Amid Inflation Recovery
BIT's latest weekly report indicates if Bitcoin had kept pace with the Nasdaq's rally, its price would theoretically be near $140,000. However, since October 2025, the divergence between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq has become increasingly pronounced.BIT highlights that the latest U.S. CPI data has risen to 3.0%, 100 basis points above the Federal Reserve's target, prompting the market to pull back some of its pricing for rate cuts in 2026. The report suggests that Bitcoin's previous upward momentum was heavily reliant on expectations of Fed easing, and as rate cut expectations have diminished, Bitcoin's performance has come under short-term pressure.The report also notes that the stock market has benefited from nominal income growth driven by inflation and a decline in real debt burdens, resulting in a different trajectory compared to Bitcoin. BIT believes the market's current focus is on whether the repricing of inflation expectations will undermine Bitcoin's fundamentals and how investors will adjust their positions going forward.
