The wealthiest state in India, Maharashtra, is formulating policies to tokenize state government assets (including power transmission infrastructure), with the funds raised to be used for constructing new transmission lines and energy storage facilities. The Chief Minister's Chief Economic Advisor and CEO of the Maharashtra Transformation Institute (MITRA), Praveen Pardeshi, introduced this plan at an invitation-only event called "The Box Launch," hosted by the real estate tokenization company RealX and MST Blockchain at the Mumbai World Trade Center.Pardeshi stated that transmission lines could be partially tokenized, for example, 40% to 50%, allowing investors holding tokens to receive a portion of the revenue from Maharashtra Transco. The new funds generated from token sales could be used to build more transmission lines and solar energy storage centers. He pointed out that the state currently has a significant surplus of solar power but lacks the grid capacity to deliver it to where it is needed; distribution companies must pay high prices of 16 to 18 rupees per unit during peak hours, while the price during surplus periods on the power exchange is only 2 paise per unit.He also illustrated the practice of real estate tokenization with the example of the Mumbai Express Towers commercial building tokenized under a REIT structure, emphasizing that tokenization does not equate to privatization but rather allows more citizens to participate in the development activities of public asset creation. Additionally, the state is drafting the Maharashtra Digital and Land Token Asset Trading Act (DELTA Act), which, if passed, will make it the first state in India to legislate for blockchain-based property tokenization.

Centrifuge, in a post on X, announced that the governance proposal CP172 has been approved. The official statement indicates that this is the first time in history that tokens will be converted into tokenized equity. After necessary approvals and legal analysis are completed, Centrifuge will proceed with the proposed restructuring.According to the governance forum proposal, the Centrifuge Network Foundation plans to restructure and re-register as a Cayman Islands exempt limited liability company, Centrifuge, Inc., to issue equity. Eligible CFG token holders can exchange 1 CFG for 1 share of tokenized equity through the Centrifuge platform, with no additional fees. Qualified holders with 100,000 CFG or more will be directly registered as shareholders, while those with less than 100,000 will participate through a trust structure in collaboration with CoinList.The conversion is voluntary, and non-participating holders can continue to hold or sell their tokens on the open market.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a new rule last week to comprehensively revise the transfer agent rules that have been in place for decades, explicitly allowing electronic databases, including blockchain ledgers, to serve as the official record of securities ownership for the first time. If approved, blockchain is expected to become the "master security document," replacing the off-chain parallel ownership records that tokenized securities currently rely on.Currently, many tokenized securities operate on two sets of records: on-chain token ledgers and official shareholder registers. Once the proposal is passed, issuers and transfer agents may no longer need to maintain duplicate records and reconcile them after each transfer, thereby reducing operational friction and the risk of inconsistencies between on-chain records and legally recognized records. Eli Cohen, Chief Legal Officer of the tokenized fund platform Centrifuge, stated that this proposal could transform the current "two-step" process into a "one-step" process, allowing the blockchain itself to act as the master security document.However, the proposal does not mean that tokenized securities are completely "permissionless." Joris Delanoue, CEO of the registered on-chain transfer agent Fairmint, pointed out that while the blockchain can remain open, assets must still comply with ownership and transfer rules, and regulatory controls such as identity verification and transfer restrictions are still embedded in the tokens. Transfer agents will still need to handle administrative matters such as shareholder death, inheritance, and legal notifications, with processing times potentially reduced from 3-5 days to 1 day. The 60-day public comment period for the proposal will end in early November.
