1/3 As we await the SEC’s Innovation Exemption, credit is due to Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins and Commissioner @HesterPeirce for creating an environment where U.S. builders can engage constructively with regulators and operate onshore with greater confidence.
For nearly a year, @orca_so has engaged with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force and Trading & Markets on how securities transactions through AMM infrastructure could fit within U.S. federal securities laws.
In every interaction, the staff asked hard questions, engaged in good faith, and showed a genuine desire to understand how Orca’s AMM infrastructure works. The change in tone under Chairman Atkins’ leadership has been remarkable.
Meet the Royal Pop Collection, a groundbreaking union of AP's iconic Royal Oak and Swatch's POP watches powered by a new, hand-wound version of SISTEM51. Available as of May 16, at selected Swatch stores worldwide. #RoyalPop
