The SEC has proposed updates to transfer agent rules, which have not been significantly revised since the late 1970s and early 1980s, to better address the growing use of blockchain-based recordkeeping and tokenized securities. The proposed changes aim to enhance registration, recordkeeping, safeguarding, and securities transfer requirements while introducing new standards for cybersecurity, operational resilience, and investor record safeguarding, acknowledging the risks posed by increasingly digital and automated market infrastructure. Transfer agents would face expanded reporting and compliance standards, including rules around securities legends and third-party service providers. The SEC stated that its current framework does not adequately account for developments such as blockchain-native transfer agents, cross-chain interoperability, or tokenized fund administration. Public comments on the proposal are solicited within 60 days of publication in the Federal Register.
