Benchmark: The SEC's market structure reform may become the most critical variable for cryptocurrency regulation this year, benefiting tokenized stocks and AMM trading

According to The Block, investment bank Benchmark pointed out in its latest research report that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed to repeal Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which could become the "most decisive regulatory change" affecting the market structure of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets in 2026.The proposal was announced on June 11 and aims to eliminate trading protection and quote constraint rules that have been in place for nearly 20 years in the U.S. stock market. The SEC stated that this move is intended to reduce trading costs and provide greater space for market competition and technological innovation.Benchmark's analysis believes that the current Rule 611 (order protection rule) requires trades to adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), while Rule 610(e) restricts "locked/crossed quotes." These mechanisms are effective in traditional matching systems but create structural constraints for automated market maker (AMM) models in decentralized finance (DeFi).The report pointed out that if the relevant rules are repealed, it will significantly lower the compliance barriers for tokenized stocks and on-chain trading systems, making AMM-based trading models easier to access the U.S. capital market system.In terms of potential beneficiaries, Benchmark specifically mentioned Securitize, believing that it will benefit most directly as a provider of tokenized securities infrastructure, while Coinbase and Galaxy Digital will also benefit from the expansion of trading, market-making, and custody infrastructure. However, the report also emphasized that the rule adjustments do not address all core issues, such as the exchange registration system, custody and clearing framework, and the legal positioning of DeFi-native trading still needs further clarification.The industry generally expects that the subsequent "innovation exemption mechanism" will become a key supporting policy. The SEC has currently opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, and the market anticipates that the final vote may take place in early 2027.

Galaxy Research Director: SEC plans to abolish core rules of Reg NMS, which may clear obstacles for tokenized stocks and on-chain AMMs

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn posted that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to abolish Rule 611 "Order Protection Rule" and Rule 610(e) in the National Market System Regulation (Reg NMS), which could become an important turning point for the development of tokenized stocks.Thorn pointed out that Rule 611 requires trades to adhere to the best quotes across the entire market (NBBO), while AMMs cannot route orders in real-time, access low-latency market data, or pause trading due to better quotes existing on other exchanges. Therefore, it has long been difficult to meet regulatory requirements, becoming one of the main structural obstacles for tokenized U.S. stocks to land in the DeFi scenario. He stated that if the future replaces the regulatory requirements for trade-by-trade supervision with brokers' "best execution obligations," on-chain liquidity pools and AMM mechanisms will be more easily incorporated into the compliance framework.Although tokenized securities still face issues such as trading venue registration and clearing and settlement, the SEC's subsequent plan to introduce an "innovation exemption" mechanism is expected to further promote related developments. Thorn believes this is an important step for the SEC to implement the "Project Crypto" roadmap, paving the way for innovations in tokenized stocks, AMMs, and on-chain securities trading by removing key market structure barriers.

XRPL submits a proposal to upgrade the AMM mechanism

XRP Ledger developers submitted a draft amendment called "AMM Swappable Curves," which plans to introduce three types of swappable curves for the XRPL native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to be added later. This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose more suitable pricing curves based on asset types, thereby improving capital efficiency.Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is more appropriate for assets that are close to a 1:1 exchange, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and will not require migration. This proposal is seen as an important step in addressing the shortcomings of the DeFi infrastructure on XRPL.Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including a recent pilot for tokenized U.S. Treasury redemptions completed by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, to enable these assets to trade, lend, or generate yield more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed. Nevertheless, this proposal is still in the draft stage and will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which may take several months, and there is still uncertainty about whether it will ultimately pass.

Online shopping for USDT was scammed, and the police in Hunan, China helped recover and return all the involved funds

According to the Hunan Daily, on February 9 at around 8 PM, the public security agency in Baojing, Hunan Province, China, received a report from a victim, Mr. Liu, from another province who had been scammed. He claimed that he was defrauded while purchasing virtual currency USDT online, with a total loss of 100,000 yuan. After receiving the report, the Baojing County Public Security Bureau dispatched a team of elite officers to form a special investigation group and began investigating the case overnight.The investigating officers used various investigative methods to ultimately identify the suspect as Shi. Upon investigation, it was found that the suspect Shi had no fixed income and did not possess qualifications for virtual currency trading. To defraud others, he collected screenshots of others trading coins online, forged false profit records, and impersonated a senior "coin dealer" to gain their trust. Victim Mr. Liu believed him and transferred 100,000 yuan to the account designated by Shi. After receiving the payment, Shi did not deliver the virtual currency; instead, he used part of the funds for gambling and squandered the rest, splitting and hiding the remaining funds.The investigating officers quickly identified Shi's identity and activities by accurately analyzing the flow of funds and comprehensively securing evidence related to the case. They decisively acted on the night of the report and successfully apprehended Shi. The next day, the case was officially filed for investigation. After solving the case, the police consistently adhered to the principle of "solving the case and recovering losses equally," patiently conducted legal policy education, and actively mobilized the suspect's family to cooperate in the restitution, ultimately recovering the full amount of 100,000 yuan involved in the case. On the morning of May 14, the 100,000 yuan of fraudulently obtained funds was fully returned to victim Mr. Liu. Currently, the suspect Shi has been subjected to criminal coercive measures for suspected fraud, and the case is under further investigation.
