【what's on wgal tonight】SEC delays decision on tZERO’s proposed security token exchange
Thewhat's on wgal tonight U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed the decision of approving or disapproving tZERO’s proposed security token exchange.
In a letter
published
Wednesday, the SEC said it is looking for more comments on the proposed Boston Security Token Exchange (BSTX) - a joint venture between BOX Digital and tZERO - which plans to provide a regulated trading platform for security tokens.
The SEC was scheduled to announce a decision on BSTX today, but due to some legal and policy issues, it is extending the deadline. Specifically, the SEC wants to know whether BSTX’s operations are compliant with parts of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and whether the information it has provided so far is sufficient.
Commenters have three weeks to submit their initial thoughts, and an additional two weeks to respond to others’ comments.
The BSTX proposal was initially filed in May 2019, which the SEC
published
for public consultation in October. Last month, an
amended
BSTX proposal was filed with the SEC, revising the number of market makers required for an initial listing from two to three, and making listing standards closer to those set by Wall Street exchanges.
But, several firms showed concerns at the time. For instance, Nasdaq SVP Joan C. Conley
said
the BTSX proposal might place an “unreasonable burden on competition” as the underlying distributed ledger would be exclusively available on BOX.
Further, Conley said, the proposal appears to provide “insufficient” detail regarding infrastructure, impact on the anti-fraud and customer protection provisions of the Act, as well as possible investor confusion.
