Together, these changes provide significant steps towards the inevitable adoption of widespread tokenization of securities in the U.S. capital markets.
ナスダック、上場維持要件として市場価値500万ドルの厳格な下限設定を提案
2026年1月13日、ナスダックはSEC(米国証券取引委員会)に規則変更案を提出しました。この変更案では、ナスダック・グローバル・マーケットおよびナスダック・キャピタル・マーケットに上場するすべての企業に対し、上場証券の時価総額を少なくとも500万ドル以上維持することを求める新たな継続上場要件が導入されます。 本提案は、ナスダックが過去数年にわたり着実かつ計画的に進めてきた、小規模上場企業に対する監督強化の一環です。ナスダックが存続可能性の基準を満たしていないと判断した発行体を、より迅速に市場から排除することを目的としています。 ナスダックの最近の取り組みには、(i) アドバイザーを含む企業関連の外部第三者の活動を理由に、ナスダックが裁量で上場を拒否できる権限を付与する規則改正(を参照)、(ii) 中国を拠点とする企業向けの最低上場基準を引き上げる改正(詳細は )、(iii) 入札価格、公募株式の時価総額、資本、収益、総資産/売上高などの数値上場基準のいずれかを下回り、かつ上場証券の市場価値(Market Value of Listed Securities、MVLS)が500万ドル未満となった企業の上場停止および上場廃止を加速する規則改正(詳細は)、(iv) ナスダック・キャピタル・マーケットおよびナスダック・グローバル・マーケットの流動性上場基準を改正し、純利益基準で上場する企業の制限なし公開株式(Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares、MVUPHS)の最低時価総額要件を500万ドルから1,500万ドルに引き上げる規則改正(詳細は)、(v) 株価が0.10ドルの銘柄の上場廃止を加速する規則改正(詳細は)、(vi) 制限なし公開株式(Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares、MVUPHS)の要件をIPOによる調達額のみで満たすこととし、再販登録された株式はもはや計算に含めない規則改正(詳細 は )、(vii) 二度目の是正期間終了後も最低株価要件を回復できなかった企業や、過去1年間に株式分割(リバース・スプリット)を実施した証券の上場廃止プロセスを加速する規則改正(詳細は)、および (viii) リバース・スプリットによって最低株価要件を満たす場合に、ラウンドロット保有者数や公開株式比率など他のナスダック上場基準に違反する恐れがある場合、その活用を制限する規則改正 (を参照)が含まれます。 今回の最新の提案もその流れを踏襲しており、いくつかの重要な点で、ナスダックの最低基準を下回った企業への対応をさらに加速させる内容となっています。 ナスダックの提案 ナスダックは、新たな上場規則5450(a)(3)および5550(a)(6)の導入を提案しています。これらの規則は、ナスダック・グローバル・マーケット(グローバル・セレクト・マーケットを含む)およびナスダック・キャピタル・マーケットにそれぞれ上場する企業に対し、上場証券の市場価値を最低500万ドル維持することを義務付けます。 上場証券の市場価値は、既存のNasdaq規則の定義に従い、統合終値に上場証券数を乗じて計算されます。 ナスダックは既に時価総額に基づく継続上場基準をいくつか設けていますが、今回の提案は、ナスダックが継続上場を不適切と判断する最低基準(ハードフロア)を設定する点で注目に値します。一般的に、上場の継続要件として上場証券の最低市場価値(ナスダック・キャピタル・マーケッツは3,500万ドル、ナスダック・グローバル・マーケッツは5,000万ドル)を維持することが求められるのは、「上場有価証券の時価総額基準」に依拠する証券のみです。企業がこれらの基準のいずれかを下回った場合、不遵守通知と十分な是正機会が与えられ、また、自己資本基準や純利益基準など、他の基準を満たしている場合は、それらの基準に移行することも可能です。この新規則は、上場廃止を加速させるハードフロアを追加するものです。ナスダックの継続上場要件については、 をご覧ください。 ナスダックはまた、規則5810を改正し、提案された新要件を満たさない企業の証券について、取引を停止し、即時に上場廃止とすることを提案しています。 即時停止および上場廃止 – 遵守期間なし おそらく、この提案の最も重要な点は、500万ドルの基準値そのものではなく、その執行メカニズムでしょう。 提案された規則では、上場有価証券の時価総額が30営業日連続で500万ドルの基準を下回った企業は、直ちにスタッフによる上場廃止決定の対象となります。他の多くの継続的な上場不備とは異なり、遵守期間は設定されません。ナスダックは、上場廃止決定が出された時点で直ちに当該企業の証券の取引を停止します。ナスダックの上場不備と上場廃止プロセスに関する私の3部構成のブログ記事については、 をご覧ください 、をご覧ください 、をご覧ください ナスダックは、こうした企業に是正のための猶予期間を与えるべきだという考えを明確に否定しており、市場がこれほど低い評価を付けた場合、その問題は通常一時的なものではなく、合理的な期間内に解決される可能性は低いと述べています。 これは、ナスダックが、小規模で財務的に深刻な状況にある企業に対して長期の是正期間を認めることは、投資家保護や市場の質の向上という目的に資さないという見解をますます強く持つようになっていることを反映しています。 審問中の取引停止は認められない この提案は、審問プロセスにも重大な変更をもたらします。 企業は引き続き、ナスダックの公聴会委員会にスタッフによる上場廃止決定を不服申し立てする権利を有するが、適時に公聴会を要請しても取引停止は延期されない。つまり、不服申し立てプロセスの間、ナスダックでの証券取引は停止されたままとなり、その間、取引は店頭市場で行われる場合がほとんどです。 ナスダックは、市場価値が低い証券の公正かつ秩序ある市場を維持することは困難であり、このような状況下では、不服申し立て中にナスダックでの取引を継続することは適切ではないと説明しています。 審問委員会の裁量権は厳しく制限されている 今回の提案では、ヒアリング・パネルが審査において考慮できる範囲も大幅に制限されます。
NASDAQ Proposes A Hard $5 Million Market Value Floor For Continued Listing

外国企業の内部関係者の説明責任を確保する法律
2025年12月18日、トランプ大統領は2026会計年度の国防権限法に署名しました。この法律には、国防法案第8103条としてひっそりと盛り込まれた外国企業内部関係者の説明責任を確保する法(HFIAA)が含まれています。HFIAAは、1934年の証券取引法第16条(a)に基づくインサイダー報告義務を、外国民間発行体(FPI)の役員および取締役にまで拡大するもので、米国証券法における大きな変革をもたらします。
The Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act
On December 18, 2025, President Trump signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, which — buried in the defense bill as Section 8103 — includes the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (“HFIAA”). The HFIAA represents a major change in U.S. securities law by expanding insider reporting obligations under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to officers and directors of foreign private issuers (“FPIs”).
