The SEC has temporarily allowed new “Tokenized Securities Venues” to trade tokenized versions of exchange-listed stocks, including shares of any public company, even without the issuer’s affirmative consent. Public companies need to understand the order’s 30-day notice-and-objection process, since failing to respond in time could allow third-party tokenized trading of their stock on a venue-by-venue basis. O'Melveny's Shelly Heyduk, Robert Plesnarski, Meaghan VerGow, Brant K. Brown, Jim Burns, and James M. Harrigan have more on what issuers need to know now about the exemption, the risks it creates, and the steps companies should consider taking.

DOJ’s new Fraud Division directive signals a more aggressive corporate enforcement approach, with defined priorities, centralized oversight, and a strong emphasis on self-disclosure and engagement with prosecutors. It also previews new whistleblower incentive programs, increasing pressure on companies in sectors such as health care, government contracting, and cross-border trade to strengthen compliance and reporting systems. More on how these changes could reshape enforcement risk and corporate investigations here: https://loom.ly/3QCJBSA
