SEC Approves Pilot to Trade Tokenized Securities on 24X National Exchange

24X National Exchange filed a rule change — effective immediately — to allow securities to be traded in tokenized form during a pilot program operated by the Depository Trust Company. This is a significant structural development for firms dealing in digital asset securities, as it signals a regulated pathway for tokenized equities on a national exchange. Compliance officers at broker-dealers, exchanges, and custody providers should monitor how AML, KYC, and settlement obligations will apply to tokenized security transactions under this pilot.

What to do

Review the 24X/DTC pilot program details and assess whether your firm's AML, KYC, and custody frameworks need to be updated to accommodate tokenized securities transactions.

SEC Proposes Modernized Rules for Registered Transfer Agents

The SEC is proposing to overhaul the regulatory framework governing registered transfer agents, including new rules, amendments to existing rules, and updates to registration and reporting forms (Form TA-1 and Form TA-2). Crypto and fintech firms that act as — or rely on — transfer agents for digital securities should pay close attention, as modernized rules could reshape recordkeeping, operational, and compliance obligations in that space. Trust companies and broker-dealers involved in securities processing may also face updated requirements.

OCC Proposes Two-Tier Framework for Violations: Substantive vs. Technical

The OCC is proposing to split regulatory violations into 'substantive' and 'technical' categories to better calibrate supervisory responses, including when Matters Requiring Attention (MRAs) are issued. For banks and trust companies engaged in crypto or fintech activities, this could affect how examiners escalate findings related to BSA/AML, KYC, or digital asset compliance gaps. Comment period is open, giving institutions an opportunity to shape the final framework.

The OCC has released updated internal policy manuals governing how bank enforcement actions and Matters Requiring Attention (MRAs) are issued and managed. These revisions signal a shift toward greater consistency and transparency in how the OCC responds to supervisory findings, which is directly relevant to banks and trust companies navigating crypto, BSA/AML, and fintech-related examination findings. Compliance officers should review the updated PPMs to anticipate examiner expectations.
