The US Senate has added a provision to its crypto bill confirming that tokenized stocks remain securities, preserving their fit within existing financial frameworks. The US Senate updated its crypto market structure bill on Friday, adding a key provision to clarify how tokenized assets are regulated. The new clause would ensure that stocks and other securities remain classified as securities when tokenized on a blockchain, avoiding potential confusion over whether they should fall under commodities regulation.
