ChainCatcher News, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda delivered a speech at the 2026 Asset Management Derivatives Forum, focusing on the progress of government bond clearing rules and the development of securities market tokenization.

The SEC has approved the registration of two new clearinghouses, CME Securities Clearing and ICE Clear Credit, providing market participants with more clearing options. Data from the Office of Financial Research indicates that if the rules are implemented eight months before 2025, the world’s systemically important banks in the U.S. could free up an average of $34.5 billion in asset-liability space.

Regarding tokenization, Uyeda stated that the SEC has stopped primarily using enforcement to express viewpoints and is instead promoting limited-scope pilots through regulatory guidance and exemption orders. He emphasized that SEC rules should remain technologically neutral, focus on outcomes rather than processes, and ensure appropriate investor protection measures.
