Executive Summary
NASD, in conjunction with The Nasdaq Stock
Crypto assets—also known as digital assets—are assets that are issued or transferred using distributed ledger or blockchain technology. They include, but are not limited to, so-called “virtual currencies,” “coins,” and “tokens.” A particular crypto asset may or may not meet definition of a “security” under the federal securities laws. FINRA rules that relate to securities, or that do not depend on securities status, may impose obligations on the crypto asset-related activities of member firms and associated persons.
On Thursday, April 21, 2016, FINRA will hold an industry call and WebEx presentation to discuss the Tick Size Pilot Data Collection efforts.
