Holders of Tokenized Shares Should Receive Full Rights in Any Future Crypto Bills -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/11/04 09:050904 GMT - Holders of tokenized shares should receive the same votes, dividends and disclosures as any other shareholder, according to Adam Popat, CEO of SettleMint, a digital asset infrastructure firm. "Recording a share on a blockchain does not alter its legal nature," he says, adding that Congress should legislate on that basis in the future irrespective of its new Democrat-led composition. Institutional adoption at scale therefore depends on permanent legislation, he adds. Initial indications suggest investors can expect a much more hostile regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies under a Democratic Congress. Tokenized equities are real-world assets converted into digital tokens. (joseph.wilkins@wsj.com)
