If people want to understand what synthetics mean to me in this context, see the staff statement on tokenization, which distinguishes tokenized versions of issuer-sponsored stocks and of stocks that SEC-registered firms hold for their customers from synthetic instruments that provide exposure to stocks. https://t.co/XvVmjndGR5

I appreciate the interest in--but not the hyperbole about--the contemplated innovation exemption for the onchain trading of tokenized NMS stock. Keep in mind: I've always expected that it'd be limited in scope & would facilitate trading only of digital representations of the same underlying equity security that an investor could purchase in the secondary market today, not synthetics.

This is what regulatory agencies are supposed to do: draw clear lines in clear terms.
