The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a 'two-year on-chain' initiative under Chair Gary Gensler, aiming to move over $50 trillion in financial assets—including stocks, bonds, and real estate—onto blockchain infrastructure. The effort, dubbed 'Project Crypto,' involves collaboration between regulators, lawmakers, and institutions like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and DTCC. DTCC’s DTC received an SEC no-action letter to tokenize major U.S. equities. The plan includes legislative support from the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, which focus on crypto compliance and regulatory clarity. The initiative seeks to boost settlement speed, capital efficiency, and global access, but also raises concerns about privacy and volatility.
