Perpetuals.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: PDC), a financial technology company that combines regulated trading infrastructure with artificial intelligence, has announced plans to offer tokenized U.S. equities through its platform. The move would take place under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's five-year Innovation Exemption framework for onchain trading of National Market System stocks, according to a company press release.
Perpetuals.com (NASDAQ: PDC) has published a notice of its intent to rely on the temporary exemption for Tokenized Securities Venues. The announcement builds on the company's existing European tokenization platform and a recent agreement to tokenize more than $300 million in physical commodities. For traders, the planned offering would provide access to 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, and fractional ownership while retaining dividend and voting rights.
The initiative follows the founding team's development of regulatory-approved tokenized stocks in 2021 and represents a further expansion of the company's tokenization activities into the U.S. market. Tokenized equities have the potential to democratize access to U.S. stocks by allowing fractional ownership and continuous trading, which could benefit retail investors and increase market liquidity. However, the approach also raises questions about regulatory oversight, investor protection, and market integrity that the SEC's exemption is designed to address.
