According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs’ September 18, 2026 research report indicates that the SEC issued an order on September 17 granting a five-year conditional registration exemption to designated exchanges and liquidity providers, permitting them to offer tokenized stock trading in the United States. The exemption requirements include the mandatory use of automated market maker (AMM) order books, eligibility restricted solely to native tokenized stocks, and issuers retaining the right to veto tokenization prior to trading commencement. Goldman Sachs assesses that Coinbase (COIN) will derive the greatest benefit, as its current tokenized stock product already satisfies most exemption criteria; Robinhood (HOOD) will need to develop new offerings; and traditional exchanges are expected to experience limited direct impact.
Odaily News: Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that ARB is expected to reach $10 by the end of 2030. The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price, approximately 48 times the current price of $0.21; its annual targets also include $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028, and $6.5 in 2029.Arbitrum's monthly revenue for September is projected to reach $5 million, representing a more than 5x increase from before Robinhood Chain's launch. Robinhood Chain launched its public chain mainnet on July 1 based on the Arbitrum platform, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications; under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used for voting on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It currently does not represent on-chain asset ownership, nor is there a mechanism for directly capturing Arbitrum revenue. Standard Chartered noted that a slowdown in the tokenization process, competing blockchains, and ARB's lack of a direct value capture mechanism are the main risks facing this forecast.

According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has revised his previous assessment regarding the impact of the Clarity Act's failure. The bill secured only 49 votes in a procedural Senate vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. While Hougan had previously forecasted that a failed bill would trigger several weeks of crypto market weakness, he noted in his latest client report that Bitcoin has continued to rise after bottoming out around $57,950 on July 1, surpassing $80,000 on September 4. In the same period, Polymarket’s implied probability for the bill’s passage within the year dropped from 39% to 14%. Price action moving contrary to these expectations suggests that the bull market does not rely on legislative passage. Hougan also pointed out that initiatives such as Robinhood launching its own blockchain, Morgan Stanley listing a Solana ETF, and DTCC completing the settlement of the first batch of tokenized stocks demonstrate that Wall Street institutions are already positioning themselves ahead of regulatory clarity. He noted that proactive rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC can partially fill legislative gaps, but acknowledged that executive regulations carry the risk of being overturned by future administrations. Consequently, congressional legislation remains the sole path to providing lasting regulatory certainty.
