History

Historical Context

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, enacted in response to the 1929 stock market crash, established the SEC to regulate securities trading and protect investors. This act introduced federal oversight for exchanges and broker-dealers, shaping the U.S. securities market. Today, the NYSE's collaboration with Securitize on a blockchain platform for tokenized securities reflects ongoing innovation within this regulatory framework.
