## What changed

Texas issued an emergency cease-and-desist order alleging unregistered and fraudulent offers of tokenized real-estate investments through websites, social media, webinars, and a multilevel marketing network.

## Who it affects

- Tokenized-real-estate issuers, promoters, investment advisers, platforms, and Texas investors

## What is still open

- The respondents’ defenses and final adjudication; allegations are not findings after trial

## What it means for an advisor

- Treat tokenization as technology rather than an exemption and verify securities registration, intermediary licensing, asset backing, valuation, distributions, conflicts, and marketing claims.
