"Is this Al-Qaeda and Hamas who are voting my shares?" That's the question Brett Redfearn ( @Observatory13 ) says nobody can answer once a stock token goes to a non-KYC wallet. 🗳️🔐

Today, the SEC announced a proposal to modernize the rules governing registered transfer agents. We are encouraged to see the Commission recognize that these rules should evolve as the industry adopts new technologies, including blockchain. As the first operational transfer agent leveraging blockchain technology, we have always believed that transfer agents are a critical part of market infrastructure, in fact, it’s something we said in our initial response to the SEC’s Crypto Task Force: “Transfer agent rules need to be modernized to leverage the power of tokenized securities, including using a public blockchain, as augmented by the transfer agent.” Modernization should raise standards, not lower them. Updating the regulatory framework to reflect how securities markets and their underlying technology are evolving is exactly the right move. Credit to Chairman Atkins, Director Jamie Selway, Commissioner Hester Peirce, and the SEC for continuing to move the regulatory framework forward. This regulatory momentum, alongside real industry adoption, is a strong tailwind for digital securities. We will submit comments during the public comment period and look forward to engaging with the Commission.

THE BLOCK: Securitize President Brett Redfearn says the SEC pulled back its crypto innovation exemption last Friday over concerns about the Clarity Act vote. Redfearn expects the rule to come after the Senate’s Sept. 15 vote, likely in early October.

"Securitize has built its tokenized securities business within existing securities laws, he said, including through a registered transfer agent and an ATS. The company also trades its SECZ shares onchain under Regulation NMS and complies with the Consolidated Audit Trail." "If we don't get Clarity, it's disappointing, but we'll be fine," Redfearn said. theblock.co/news/regulation/…

“The SEC has moved to a negotiations style of rulemaking. 'Let’s ask for the kitchen sink even though we know we won’t get it, and then we’ll dial it back.' No more roundtables and concept releases. It’s concerning.” - Brett Redfearn (@Observatory13) #STADC2023
