SEC Discusses Cryptocurrency with El Salvador – Here’s What the Meeting Proposed on Cryptocurrencies

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force held a high-level meeting on April 22 with Perkin Law Firm, representatives from El Salvador’s National Digital Assets Commission (CNAD), and former Goldman Sachs partner Heather Shemilt to discuss an innovative cross-border regulatory sandbox initiative aimed at streamlining the oversight of cryptocurrencies. The proposed sandbox includes two pilot scenarios that will serve as a live testing ground for real-world crypto asset applications under dual regulatory oversight: A US-licensed brokerage firm received a digital asset license from CNAD to pilot a small-scale real estate tokenization project, and A small business raising up to $10,000 through tokenized stock issuance.

El Salvador has emerged as a global case study in balancing innovation with security, having built its digital asset framework from the ground up over the past five years. CNAD’s model has attracted the attention of global exchanges and major crypto companies, including stablecoin issuer Tether (USDT), due to its well-developed regulatory ecosystem. One of Sandbox’s key focuses is the tokenization of real estate, an asset class with huge potential for blockchain-based transformation. El Salvador’s success in piloting tokenized debt, fractional ownership, and leases makes it an ideal partner for this initiative. The SEC aims to leverage these insights to inform U.S. regulatory approaches and potentially scale tokenization in a secure and structured manner. *This is not investment advice.
