The order,<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2026-90-sec-issues-innovation-exemption-facilitate-trading-tokenized-nms-stock-request-comment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> called the Innovation Exemption<\/a><\/strong>, applies to venues the agency labels Tokenized Securities Venues, or TSVs, which pair buyers and sellers through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools. For Hyperliquid, whose HYPE token trades near $82, the timing is hard to ignore. Its infrastructure already does much of what the rules describe.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of \u201cexchange\u201d in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VDi7Oty2d9\">pic.twitter.com\/VDi7Oty2d9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (@SECGov) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SECGov\/status\/2100571317128888364?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The relief is temporary by design. It takes effect immediately and runs for up to five years, then expires unless the SEC replaces it with permanent rules. Chairman Paul Atkins framed it as a bridge, letting venues operate in a controlled setting while the agency drafts something durable. It also landed two days after the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act stalled in the Senate, short of the 60 votes it needed, so the SEC leaned on its own exemptive authority instead of waiting on Congress. The order now goes out for public comment through the Federal Register.<\/p>\n<h2>Synthetics get nothing, and issuers can block a listing<\/h2>\n<p>The order draws a hard line around what qualifies. It covers only tokens backed one to one by real shares, carrying the same voting rights and dividends as the stock itself, which leaves the price-tracking synthetic tokens that make up most onchain equity exposure today with no relief at all. Companies also got a veto. A venue has to give 30 days notice before listing a firm\u2019s tokenized stock, and the firm can force it off, a condition that answers a July letter from the Securities Transfer Association pushing for issuer consent as a baseline.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span>01<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Real stocks only<\/p>\n<p>1:1 backed shares with voting and dividend rights.

The biggest builder on it, trade.xyz from the tokenization team Unit, already focuses on equities, indices and commodities traded around the clock. The closer fit came on September 3, when co-founder Jeff Yan floated an opt-in add-on called HIP-3*, which lets an operator restrict who can access a given venue without touching the open core. A permissioned layer over public infrastructure is exactly the shape the SEC described.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional flow is lining up alongside it. A day before the order, Payward, the operator behind Kraken, said it would bring onchain perpetual futures to US clients on Hyperliquid, a network already handling <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/app.hyperliquid.xyz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">roughly $240 billion in perpetual volume over 30 days<\/a><\/strong>. The token model closes the loop: the large majority of the fees Hyperliquid collects go to buying HYPE on the open market and pulling it out of supply, so more volume means steadier buying pressure. If tokenized stocks ever route real flow through the network, the same mechanism feeds HYPE demand. That is how the design works, not a forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional access widened the same day too. Virtune, the Swedish regulated crypto asset manager, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/hyperliquid-gets-warsaw-etp-as-perpetual-volume-hits-240b\/\">listed its physically backed Hyperliquid product on the Warsaw Stock Exchange<\/a><\/strong> under the ticker ETNVIRHYPE. It trades in Polish z\u0142oty, charges a 0.95% annual fee, and lets investors hold HYPE through an ordinary securities account instead of a wallet. It is Virtune\u2019s eighth crypto product on the exchange since February.<\/p>\n<h2>HYPE holds the $73 shelf inside a rising channel<\/h2>\n<p>HYPE is trading at $82.88, up 5.1%, and sits above all three moving averages, stacked in the order that marks a healthy uptrend: the 20-day at $82.21, the 50-day at $70.83, the 200-day at $55.92. Price just reclaimed its 20-day average near $82, the short-term pivot, so the immediate question is whether it holds above that line or slips back under it. The RSI near 55 is the reading to watch. It is positive but far from stretched, leaving room to climb before the move tires, unlike August, when the same gauge spiked near 80 just before the last pullback.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1303155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1303155\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1303155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/hypeusdt-tradingview-17-09-2026.jpg\" alt=\"Hyperliquid HYPE daily chart, price at $81.94 inside a rising channel with $73 Fibonacci support.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"740\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1303155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">HYPE holds the upper half of its channel near $82, first support at $73. Chart: KuCoin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first real cushion sits at $73.32, the 0.236 Fibonacci level drawn from the run between $20.18 and $89.74, with the 50-day average just beneath it. That turns the low $70s into a support cluster rather than a single line. The rising channel from the winter lows still holds, with price in its upper half. Hold the low $70s and the next target is the $89.74 high, then the channel top. A daily close below $73 is the first crack, exposing $70 and then $63 at the 0.382 level. The rising trendline sits lower still, so a break there is what would actually void the channel.<\/p>\n<h2>The synthetics gap is the next fight<\/h2>\n<p>Publication in the Federal Register starts two clocks: the five-year countdown, and the comment window where exchanges, record keepers and onchain venues will argue over the conditions. The loudest thing left open is what the order ignores. It says nothing about the price-tracking tokens that carry most onchain equity exposure today, leaving the fastest-growing corner of the market outside the safe harbor. Whether Hyperliquid builders move toward permissioned, rights-bearing pools is the signal that turns this opening into real tokenized stock volume.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
