SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) as a U.S. federal government agency has a rather important mission to protect investors from illegal or dangerous practices and fraud, maintain fair, orderly markets and facilitate capital formation. It is the main regulator of companies offering stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.
Just yesterday SEC announced its launch of a portal for engaging with companies using blockchain, artificial intelligence and more. Since this very moment, blockchain based startups fall under the attention of SEC.
The SEC is committed to working with investors and market participants on new approaches to capital formation, market structure, and financial services, with an eye toward enhancing, and in no way reducing investor protection," said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton. "The FinHub provides a central point of focus for our efforts to monitor and engage on innovations in the securities markets that hold promise, but which also require a flexible, prompt regulatory response to execute our mission."
