@TuongvyLe12 If anon tokens don’t vote they can’t be used to obtain control. And in any event anyone attempting a hostile takeover has 13D reporting obligations, company can sue. Lack of surveillance capability makes SEC’s job harder I’ll grant. I’m ok with that.

[BlockProf @theblockprof]

@TuongvyLe12 That’s a state corporate law issue that doesn’t need the SEC’s help. It can be fixed without surveillance by a modified token that limits dividends and voting rights that can trade in DeFi anonymously.

@TuongvyLe12 Subpoenas and warrants.

Bad faith that “compliant privacy” is a buzzword I don’t like? It true that I don’t like it. You are clearly doing a lot to try to thread the needle. I respect that. I remain concerned that at the intersection of TradFi and DeFi, compliance will spill over. I am concerned that embedded smart contract compliance is not the panacea that this new ZK compliance theme in crypto believes. Regulators overreach and compliance grows like a weed, regulators expectations about what smart contracts will be required to do will grow the same way. And I worry a lot of ZK compliance providers will not try to thread a needle as you are doing here.

Nothing would stop SEC from permitting an adapted form of tokenized equity from living in DeFi KYC free. Nothing in Genius Act prohibits stables from being run through @RAILGUN_Project. ZK privacy compliance tools for regulated institution compliance is great. For individuals peer to peer, very scary. I fear ease of compliant privacy tools, particularly as ZK ID, will begin on TradFi side and infect DeFi, and ultimately will become the opposite of what they purport to be. And providers of those tools will be strongly tempted to lobby regulators to force their use crypto wide.

@LucasTodeschin2 What I want is tokenized equity that lives in DeFi in sovereign wallets KYC-free.

@dmartkc @SECPaulSAtkins It is indeed unfortunate that US Treasury is currently continuing the lawlessness of the Biden and Obama admins, I will agree with you there.
