Thanks for the many kind words over the past week & for the engagement over my time at the SEC. Thanks to my many critics too. Vigorous critiques of government officials are part of what makes this country great. No more tweets from this account. Be careful out there: https://t.co/jJ1qO7H1Jj

I'm not a fan of accredited investor gating, but at least we're proposing to nudge the gate open a bit: https://t.co/ylpd8v0SRV

@milesjennings I welcome the disagreement, but you have to read it in the broader context of the interp.

If people want to understand what synthetics mean to me in this context, see the staff statement on tokenization, which distinguishes tokenized versions of issuer-sponsored stocks and of stocks that SEC-registered firms hold for their customers from synthetic instruments that provide exposure to stocks. https://t.co/XvVmjndGR5

I appreciate the interest in--but not the hyperbole about--the contemplated innovation exemption for the onchain trading of tokenized NMS stock. Keep in mind: I've always expected that it'd be limited in scope & would facilitate trading only of digital representations of the same underlying equity security that an investor could purchase in the secondary market today, not synthetics.
