    Report first recorded Oct 24, 03:25

    The SEC's Division of Examinations published its FY2027 priorities, explicitly naming "super intelligence and other advanced technologies" as an area of heightened scrutiny for the first time, and including tokenization under evolving market infrastructure risks. These priorities cover more than 34,000 registrants, signaling that broker-dealers, advisers, and transfer agents should expect examiner attention on how AI tools affect compliance and fraud detection, as well as on tokenized products.
