The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s October 23 examination-priorities announcement identified tokenisation and emerging technologies as risks its staff intend to monitor in fiscal 2027. The priorities are a risk-based agenda, not a ban on tokenised products or a finding that any firm broke the rules.
The programme covers advisers, funds, broker-dealers, clearing agencies and other registered participants. It also flags possible effects of AI and what the SEC calls “super intelligence” on compliance, fraud and market operations.
