DeFi Platform Tokens Surge as SEC Introduces New US Stock Tokenization Rules; UNI and HYPE Jump Over 10%

TradingKey - US SEC Launches New Rules for US Stock Tokenization as DeFi Sector Rallies Strongly, with HYPE Surging Over 10% and UNI Soaring Over 15%.

On September 17 ET, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an "Innovation Exemption" statement, opening up a clear and concrete path for the on-chain tokenization of U.S. stocks and traditional securities. This major regulatory catalyst directly stimulated the cryptocurrency market, triggering a broad-based rally in tokens across decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and on-chain derivatives platforms.

Uniswap (UNI) was the top performer, surging over 15% in the past 24 hours to approach $8, reaching a high since November 2025; followed by Hyperliquid (HYPE), which rose about 11% over the same period to break above $86, once again approaching its record high.

The Innovation Exemption statement issued by the SEC establishes an interim compliance framework for on-chain trading of traditional securities and tokenized U.S. stocks, with key points as follows:

Policy Dimension	Core Rules and Implementation Details
Exemption Duration and Scope	Provides a 5-year temporary conditional exemption for eligible Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs) and liquidity providers, temporarily waiving cumbersome registration requirements for traditional exchanges and market makers.
Trading Mechanism and On-Chain Technology	Allows platforms to trade through permissioned Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools; requires smart contracts to be deployed on public permissionless blockchains, be open-source, and pass security audits.
Equivalence of Rights	Synthetic derivatives are strictly prohibited; holders of tokenized stocks must enjoy rights fully identical to traditional spot equities (including dividend distributions, voting rights, etc.).
Issuer Veto Right	If tokenization is conducted by a third party other than the issuer, the TSV must provide 30 days' advance written notice to the listed company of the underlying stock; if the listed company objects, the platform may not list the tokenized stock.
Trading Risk Control and Market Synchronization	Limits are set on the types and quantities of tradable tokens as well as trading volume; when the underlying stock on a traditional exchange triggers a circuit breaker or trading halt, trading of the corresponding on-chain token must be halted simultaneously.
