Plume's General Counsel attended a hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives, calling for the inclusion of tokenized securities within the existing regulatory framework

According to the official blog, Plume Network's General Counsel Salman Banaei stated at a hearing held by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee that tokenized securities should not be viewed as a completely new asset class, nor should new rules or exemptions be created for them.

He argued that regulation should be driven by the economic nature and risks of financial products, rather than the technology used, and thus should incorporate new technological realities into the existing regulatory framework through targeted amendments to current regulations.

Salman pointed out that utilizing public blockchains and on-chain compliance tools (such as Plume's built-in protocol-level anti-money laundering screening) can significantly enhance market transparency, reduce costs, and decrease reliance on intermediaries while maintaining or even exceeding existing regulatory standards.

Finally, Salman issued a warning: the competition for global tokenized infrastructure is accelerating, with regions like Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE actively positioning themselves. If the U.S. falls behind in regulation due to policy uncertainty, it risks losing its leadership position in the digital transformation of global capital markets, allowing this strategic opportunity to shift to foreign competitors with different geopolitical objectives.
