Glen Messier Sr Comment On Regulatory Notice 25-05

I just don't see the benefit of this rule change requirement. Especially after the fact. If it were a requirement originally OK, but not afterwards. Maybe make it a requirement for new RIA's or post date it to a future date requirement. If FINRA interferes with Crypto investments at this stage it will just hurt all investors. FA's wiil just go to the alternative route, therefore eliminating the FINRA rule change, or FiNRA itself alltogether. We need pro active Crypto investment support at this point not hindered by a stupid unnecessary rule change.
