Last week, Paxos obtained a letter of “no action” on the part of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). This means that you can move forward with your new project. Paxos wants to build an infrastructure based on Blockchain to settle stock exchange transactions more quickly and economic. The pilot project will operate with actions as AT&T, General Motors, and other actions of the company. Although there is no real guarantee that the project will succeed, do so Blockchain would change the market values of united States. Reduce the costs of the transactions would be the next big step forward for this market since the launch of NASDAQ in 1971. In addition, there is another reason why the community cryptography has been paid special attention. This project received no protests on the part of the SEC. The SEC is an entity that has become famous among the members of the ecosystem for display postures fairly conservative with respect to the innovations they propose. These points of view are reflected in the regulations proposed by the institution. However, this opportunity seems to have been pushed aside and allowed to Paxos go ahead with your project Blockchain.

Despite these harsh words, DTCC welcomed the competition. The head of the unit of clearing and settlement of actions, Michael McClain, stated that Blockchain would be useful for the industry. If this test is successful, the market values of united States could adopt is definitely the technology Blockchain. Although this alternative sounds a bit idealistic, the members of the community cryptographic is optimistic before her. And not only is the position adopted by the SEC, but because every day there are more people who recognize the potential of the technology Blockchain. The following two tabs change content below.
