💡 Insight

SEC Signals Onchain Stock Revolution

Big news this week: SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins says all U.S. markets will be onchain within two years.

This isn’t just bullish for crypto — it’s a seismic shift that could open the floodgates for tokenized assets… if you understand what’s really going on behind the scenes.

Let’s break it down.

1. Why This Matters

Behind every stock trade is a massive infrastructure of middlemen. One of the biggest? The DTCC — the hidden plumbing of Wall Street.

They handle $2+ quadrillion in transactions per year.

If stocks were cars, the DTCC builds the highways.

For decades, it’s been all paper trails, legacy systems, and settlement delays. But that’s changing…

2. Wrapped Stocks vs. Real Onchain Stocks

Until now, most “tokenized stocks” in crypto have been wrapped:

A custodian buys the stock
Issues a token that represents it
You trade the token, but don’t own the actual stock

Problems:

No legal clarity
No voting rights
Dividends? Maybe.
Regulatory gray zones everywhere

That’s why TradFi never took it seriously.

3. Enter: DTCC-Issued Onchain Stocks

This new move means actual stocks — issued directly onchain by the DTCC — are coming.

No wrappers. No middlemen. No legal murkiness.

Just real equities, tokenized with full rights.

✅ You own the legal title
✅ You get voting rights
✅ You receive dividends

This is not a DeFi experiment. It’s Wall Street going onchain — and it’s coming fast.

4. The Bigger Picture: What This Unlocks

This changes the game for:

Global 24/7 trading (no more “market hours”)
Instant settlement (goodbye T+2 delays)
Programmable finance (imagine automated dividends, airdrops, or even DAO voting tied to your stock)

And it puts real pressure on lagging institutions to adapt — or get left behind.

📣 Update

Jupiter’s JupUSD Stablecoin Goes Live Next Week

Jupiter Unveils JupUSD Stablecoin and Major Solana Ecosystem Upgrades — Source

Solana’s top DEX aggregator Jupiter is rolling out its own stablecoin — JupUSD — with live trading and yield features at launch.

Unlike wrapped or third-party stablecoins, JupUSD will be deeply integrated into Jupiter’s DeFi stack, powering limit orders, DCA, prediction markets, and more.
