The SEC may allow tokenized equities to trade 24/7 as early as Friday, opening a new bridge between TradFi and crypto. BSC leads with $900M; Ethereum and Solana follow.

The SEC is preparing an innovation exemption that would let tokenized equities trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The move could come as early as Friday, a person familiar with the planning said.
Tokenized stocks represent a tiny fraction of the global equity market. The total market cap of tokenized equities is about 0.0018% of the $155 trillion global listed equity market, according to Token Terminal data. That leaves room for growth if even a small share of traditional stocks moves on-chain.
In the second quarter, the NASDAQ climbed 27% while Bitcoin fell 14%. US inflation hit 4.2% in May, yet capital continued flowing into equities. The SEC exemption could redirect some of that demand onto blockchain.
Binance Smart Chain added $900 million in tokenized stock market cap year to date, Token Terminal data show. Ethereum added $450 million; Solana added $415 million. The three chains are positioning to capture trading activity and liquidity if tokenized equities gain traction.
The exemption depends on formal adoption. SEC resistance or delays would slow adoption. If major exchanges list tokenized stocks and liquidity providers commit, the sector could see a surge in volume.
The SEC did not respond to a request for comment. A decision is expected before the end of the week.
