As the price of Ethereum breaks through $3000, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of a node-level zkEVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine), with plans to achieve Layer 1 native integration of ZK proofs within a year.

Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, believes that achieving the on-chain representation of securities through "native tokenization" is the most reliable method.

However, the SEC emphasizes that these tokenized securities still need to comply with existing securities laws and regulations. Therefore, when building tokenized products, businesses must ensure compliance with relevant regulations to avoid legal risks.
