Nasdaq president: Shift in SEC stance spurs blockchain experimentation

A shift in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approach to crypto regulation is fostering more experimentation with blockchain and tokenization, according to Nasdaq President Tal Cohen. In remarks reported by CoinDesk, Cohen explained that while past regulatory uncertainty effectively paralyzed the industry, an environment is now emerging that allows for building and testing new systems. He added that Nasdaq, which provides trading technology to over 130 global markets, is increasing its investment in blockchain and tokenization in response to this shift.
