The SEC’s first mission is to protect investors. Under Gary Gensler, the SEC clearly lost its way. He declared war on a technology.. It was an unlawful power grab…and the courts said as much.
By comparison, @SECPaulSAtkins is a breath of fresh air and sanity. He is a model of what leadership at the SEC should look like… he’s focusing on what matters - protecting investors and fostering innovations that help those investors and the markets.
NEW: SBI Remit, which utilizes @Ripple's distributed ledger technology, partners with Tottori Bank to provide remittance and salary deposit services for foreign workers in Japan, bringing its total financial institution partnerships to 26.
NOW - South Africa's President calls for the IMF and World Bank to be "reformed" to not "continue to represent Western interests only... a global progressive revival is underway."
