AMC CEO Praises SEC's New Tokenization Rules, Calls on Robinhood to Follow Same Standards in Overseas Markets

Odaily: AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron posted on X, praising U.S. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' announcement of policies related to tokenized stocks, and highlighted three principles, including that investor protection must not be compromised, synthetic assets must not be used, and stock issuers have the right to object to their securities being traded on tokenized securities trading venues.

Aron stated that under the framework published by the SEC, eligible stock tokens should carry full voting rights and dividend rights, and listed companies should also have the right to prevent their securities from being traded in tokenized form. He also called out Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev, urging Robinhood to follow the same standards in its overseas stock token business, particularly regarding investor protection, synthetic assets, and issuers' right to object.

Previously, the SEC yesterday approved a temporary, conditional "Innovation Exemption," allowing tokenized stocks to be traded on a limited basis on certain onchain venues—Tokenized Securities Trading Venues (TSVs).
