美SEC拟更新注册过户代理规则，以适应区块链和代币化时代
PANews 9月2日消息，据The Block报道，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提出更新注册过户代理规则，该规则自1970年代末以来未曾大幅修订。过户代理负责证券所有权记录、处理合并和股息分配等公司行为，并在清算结算中扮演关键角色。SEC主席表示，该提案将“简化和现代化”规则，以反映电子通信和区块链技术在证券发行和股份转让中的使用。 SEC指出，过户代理正越来越多地与代币化证券和人工智能等新兴技术互动，部分市场参与者正探索基于区块链的证券所有权记录系统。与代币化证券和智能合约互动的过户代理必须管理区块链数据完整性、代币化证券安全性和分布式账本运营模式相关风险。
US SEC proposes updating registered transfer agent rules for the blockchain and tokenization era
PANews on Sep 2: The Block reports the SEC proposed updating registered transfer agent rules, largely unamended since the late 1970s. Transfer agents maintain securities ownership records, process corporate actions like mergers and dividends, and play a key role in clearing and settlement. The SEC chair said the proposal would simplify and modernize the rules to reflect electronic communications and blockchain technology in securities issuance and transfer. The SEC noted transfer agents increasingly interact with tokenized securities and AI, with some market participants exploring blockchain-based securities ownership records, and that agents touching tokenized securities and smart contracts must manage risks around blockchain data integrity, tokenized-securities security and distributed-ledger operating models.
