Summary
FINRA is introducing enhancements and presentation changes in the Central Registration Depository (CRD®) system that relate to the implementation of FINRA’s restructured qualification examination program and the adoption of consolidated FINRA registration rules. These changes, effective October 1, 2018, principally affect the Examination Requests and SRO Registrations sections.
I am writing to express my strong opposition to FINRA’s Proposed Rule 3290 as outlined in Regulatory Notice 25-05. As a responsible investor who personally owns digital assets and utilizes a registered advisor through Digital Wealth Partners, I am deeply concerned about the proposed restrictions requiring financial advisors to seek written approval from their broker/dealer before engaging in
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Amendments to FINRA Rule 5110 (Corporate Financing Rule—Underwriting Terms and Arrangements)
I as an individual investor should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family, not just for the "high net-worth" accredited one-percenters. I should have to go through a process of passing a test before I can invest in public securities unless the government is willing to train individual investors like me and administer the test free of charge.
Once again the Federal Government is going to try and decide what is good for the public, the same public that pays for everything. The only person that should decide how I invest MY money, is ME.

Furthermore, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I did not have to do this to make a purchase. I am capable of

right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, and not just the privileged.
I feel that I should not have to pass a test before investing in public securities such as leveraged and inverse funds. I am able to understand these funds and their risks. These investments help my portfolio grow
I have seen warning provided by the broker website on each buy trade. In addition I had to go through a risk signup document to confirm that I understand the risk.
Above steps are good way to provide disclosure on every trade.
However if the changes are being planned to make an investor go through certain tests then I think that is excessive, and would not appreciate putting such restrictions.
I do not feel that I should have to go through hoops to make investments that I feel I am comfortable making. The government doesn't regulate my selection of houses I could buy (an investment in a volatile market), so I should not be restricted on my investment selection within the stock market. While I am Series 7 licensed, I still think it is excessive for anybody to have to take what
The choice of which investment products to buy is my choice, and should not be the choice of regulators.
I completely understand the risks these products carry. I do not need new regulations or tests imposed on me that limit my ability to purchase public leveraged securities.
I use leveraged securities to generate income weekly with a variety of strategies, and regulatory limits on my investment
