Last summer, we introduced listeners to FINRA’s Crypto Hub, an enterprise-wide strategy for keeping up with the evolving crypto asset regulatory landscape. On this episode, we have three members of the hub join us to provide an update on that work to dig into the results of a recent survey of member firms regarding their crypto asset touch points to tell us about the new spot Bitcoin ETP market and more.
Remarks by Chairman and CEO Richard Ketchum at the FINRA Annual Conference
This is an absolutely vile proposition, aimed at maintaining the status quo and blatantly trying to stop social mobility. What's even more shocking is that this is not even trying to mask itself as something else, it's just blatant discrimination and abuse of power.

I have a degree from Harvard and don't need to pass a test to invest in public securities. I utilize leveraged and inverse funds as an important yet carefully managed and small part of my portfolio.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before you can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me. Also, Leveraged and inverse funds are important to your
investment strategies.
