#SEConTokenizedSecurities The SEC’s Jan 28, 2026 guidance confirms that tokenized securities are real securities, not exempt. Issuer-backed tokens give legal ownership, voting, and dividends, and can be traded safely on regulated exchanges. Synthetic or third-party tokens are high-risk, lack legal rights, and may trigger SEC enforcement. Institutional adoption rises for compliant RWAs on-chain, while retail investors should avoid unregulated synthetic offerings. Compliance is key for DeFi integration.
