WASHINGTON, March 5, 2026 — The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday that its Investor Advisory Committee will meet March 12 to consider and vote on recommendations regarding the tokenization of equity securities, according to an announcement issued by the agency.
The committee, which advises the SEC on regulatory priorities, market structure and investor protection matters, will hold the public meeting at SEC headquarters in Washington.
According to the meeting agenda, the committee will consider and vote on recommendations regarding tokenized equity securities.
