The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) met with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) on Sept. 26 to discuss rules for products related to Crypto. 
The meeting was led by the SEC’s Crypto Task Force and senior executives from NYSE and ICE with talks focusing on how to regulate crypto derivatives and tokenized equities and how these products can fit into the existing system without losing investor protections.&nbsp; 
According to the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/ctf-memo-nyse-ice-092625.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">memorandum</a> of the meeting, key topics included how the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should share duties in overseeing crypto assets. They also looked at gaps in current laws, possible exemptions for new products, and how the word “facility” should be defined when trading tokenized shares. 
The list of attendees included Elizabeth King, Global Head of Clearing and Chief Regulatory Officer at ICE, Michael Blaugrund, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at ICE, Jon Herrick, Chief Product Officer at NYSE, and Jaime Klima, General Counsel at NYSE.&nbsp; 
The agenda also listed discussions about investor interests, issuer concerns, and whether certain products might need exemptions to move forward.

Crypto derivatives were a central part of the talks. They are tools that let investors bet on future prices of assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum.&nbsp; 
The SEC wanted to know how to expand these tools safely, since they can give traders more options but also bring higher risks. With NYSE involved, the chance of such products reaching everyday investors becomes much greater. 
Tokenized equities were another important topic. These tokens act like digital versions of real company shares. Instead of buying a stock directly, an investor could buy a token that proves ownership. 
But there are legal questions about whether tokens count as securities under current law or if new rules must be made. NYSE and ICE asked for clear answers before starting any token-based services. 
Through its crypto task force meetings, the SEC is engaging with the digital asset community to understand core issues and develop regulations that balance risk management with the need to encourage innovation. NYSE and ICE are major exchanges from traditional finance, and together with SEC they want to prepare for a future where digital assets are part of daily trading.
