This development marks an early step toward fulfilling SEC Chair Paul Atkins's vision of a new era in which tokenization becomes the foundation of financial infrastructure whereby any security that can be tokenized ultimately will be tokenized.3 DTC Pilot Program General The DTC Letter states that DTC can provide DTC participants and their customers the ability to elect to have their security entitlements recorded using distributed ledger technology ("Tokenized Entitlements") as opposed to solely through a centralized book-entry ledger (the "Book-Entry Ledger"). In order to hold securities entitlements in tokenized form, a DTC participant4 ("Participant") must register one or more digital wallets (each, a "Registered Wallet") with DTC. DTC will then perform screening to ensure compliance with applicable laws, including anti-money laundering laws. Source: Seward & Kissel |
