“The PDA rules seem to be an assault on technology itself, and that disturbs me. There’s a risk that the industry may have to pull back on efficiencies and education that investors currently enjoy.” - Brett Redfearn (Brett W. Redfearn), Panorama Financial Markets Advisory #STADC2023

“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 (Brett W. Redfearn) #STADC2023

I looking forward to moderating a panel discussion at SIFMA’s Market Structure Conference tomorrow appropriately titled: Where is Equity Market Structure Headed? The timing for this discussion couldn’t be better as I suspect a welcomed pivot is forthcoming.events.sifma.org/market-structu…

Excited to moderate this panel 10/16. The race to tokenize stocks is on & the SEC is unlocking the ability to progress. But, many questions remain including what are the costs and benefits for investors & issuers, & which model makes the most sense? Will be a great discussion.

The tokenized asset space is about to explode.

I was honored to give the keynote at the @PhiladelphiaFed’s Ninth Annual Fintech Conference this morning. My remarks outlined the next steps in the @SECgov’s Project Crypto and what to expect in the coming months.
