Great article from @cromwellc the CEO of @OTCMarkets (largest ATS in the US) breaking down the different paths to tokenization of public equities, from the issuer led model (direct ownership rights that live on the blockchain, what we do), to the tokenized receipts (not holding the actual shares but a receipt) to what he calls the financial engineering approach that some crypto companies do creating SPW wrappers, IOUs and swap derivatives that he rigtly so expresses concerns about it and asks regulators to look at it "With these tokenized financial products, that chain of risk can become long and tangled. Their opacity opens the door to information asymmetries, undisclosed fees, and fraudsters."

Last week, @JenniferJSchulp was joined by @cromwellc, @gerryhays, @KarenKerrigan, Alex Platt, Amy Reischauer, and Joel Trotter.
They discussed the issues businesses face when raising capital and solutions to bring businesses and investors together. buff.ly/E7qLkcb
"Chief candidates for the agency’s attention are 1) designing clear rules of the road for the crypto industry and 2) improving the rules that govern capital formation — smoothing the pathways for small businesses to raise capital and for growing businesses to access the public markets."
Paul Atkins was confirmed last night by the Senate as the next Chairman of the SEC. 👏
The SEC’s acting leadership has been off to a good start, but Atkins still will have his work cut out for him in bringing the agency back on mission.

Important speech on unleashing opportunity. He may not have the read @mattwridley on how Innovation happen, he clearly gets the key concepts.

The next SEC chair should re-focus the commission on its core mission: facilitating capital formation.
Under Gensler, the SEC neglected its core mission. Trump's forthcoming nominee can make the SEC prioritize opportunities for middle-class and lower-income Americans to build wealth and financial security. @jberlau @Forbes

Better markets become bigger markets. Company engagement, reporting, and compliance are key components of that formula.
In our latest blog post, CEO @cromwellc discusses the next evolution of the OTC Markets. In 2025, Pink Current will become #OTCID - a market that will require companies to actively engage, provide ongoing disclosure & management certifications. Read more:

Well made points that stamp duties and transaction taxes are bad for a country’s financial markets and stifle economic growth. This, plus pension reform to bring domestic savings back into UK stocks, and supporting strong capital markets can turn the tide. @MerrynSW
