🏦 Nasdaq's Tokenized Securities Pilot
🏦 Nasdaq's Tokenized Securities Pilot
🏦 Nasdaq gets the green light
Nasdaq received SEC approval for a tokenized securities pilot program, marking a significant step toward programmable equities while preserving existing market infrastructure.
The pilot bridges traditional finance with blockchain innovation, allowing tokenized assets to move beyond simple trading into broader financial applications.
Key insight from Clearpool's COO:
- Market structure has evolved from T+3 to T+1 settlement
- The endgame is T+0 and continuous 24/7 markets
- SEC is opening doors for expanded use cases beyond trading
Context: This development follows recent regulatory progress, including SEC-CFTC coordination efforts and growing stablecoin adoption in B2B payments (up 60% year-over-year). The pilot represents infrastructure-level change rather than speculative innovation.

US Stablecoin Yield Rules Take Shape Under CLARITY Act
**US lawmakers and the White House have agreed in principle on stablecoin yield regulations** under the CLARITY Act. The framework distinguishes between two types of rewards: - **Passive balance rewards**: Restricted - **Activity-based rewards**: Permitted when tied to payments, transfers, and DeFi usage As regulatory clarity emerges, the treatment of idle stablecoin capital becomes a key consideration. Clearpool's RLOC vaults address this by automatically deploying undrawn stablecoins into approved lending protocols like Aave and Compound. This approach aims to maintain liquidity flexibility for borrowers while keeping capital productive for lenders through on-chain credit activities.
