Expected impact on tokenization regulation
According to the new management, the main challenge now is the digital transformation of the capital market and the need for the regulator to supervise both the traditional and tokenized markets simultaneously. Lobo states that tokenization and artificial intelligence are reshaping the issuance, trading, and custody of assets, which requires stronger investments in technology and in personnel with the appropriate profile.As part of this agenda, the CVM plans to launch a public discussion within the next hundred days on the pillars of the regulatory framework for tokenization, allowing for contributions from market participants, investors, and society. The agency aims to position Brazil at the forefront of global regulation on this topic, with the goal of attracting investments with greater security, transparency, and efficiency.
In our previous analysis of Coinbase (COIN) shares, we highlighted how the company has been expanding its role in digital asset infrastructure by launching new derivatives, such as pre-IPO perpetual futures contracts, as well as strengthening areas like institutional custody, staking, and revenues from stablecoins. We also noted that, despite the recent price uptick, the stock remained under technical pressure and maintained a defensive bias in the short term, reflecting a still cautious market. This scenario helps contextualize why the regulatory discussion on tokenization and new technologies is likely to gain importance as products and services related to digital assets become more sophisticated.
