SEC delays plan to allow trading of tokenized stocks due to concerns and pushback Scoop via @pattersonscott

In case anyone is wondering how @Securitize's $SECZ ($CEPT until merger vote) equities tokenization stack compares to competitors👀

It is simply untrue to state that tZERO operates under a limited or narrower regulatory framework. As a recap, here is tZERO’s regulatory footprint: - SEC-Registered Broker-Dealer: Licensed to act as a placement agent, underwriter (best-efforts), mutual fund retailer, online retailer, and/or broker for equity, debt, or investment contracts, including any type of the foregoing that is tokenized, self-clearing, and a correspondent clearing firm (we also have a pending application to act as a treasuries broker). - Alternative Trading System (ATS): For traditional and tokenized securities. -SEC-Registered Special Purpose Broker-Dealer (SPBD): A regulatory designation that none of the above-listed companies have, which is licensed to take direct custody of tokenized securities on the blockchain (no-third party custodian needed) on a fully disclosed and omnibus basis. -SEC-Registered Transfer Agent. -Exempt Reporting Adviser (ERA) in Utah for advisory services (the same designation Securitize has in Florida). -Pending CFTC DCM/DCO Licenses: For event contracts and crypto trading. -Pending CFTC Introducing Broker License: For order routing and solicitation of derivative contracts. One cannot distinguish themselves from tZERO by claiming a broader regulated footprint for tokenized securities, because we have end-to-end regulatory coverage. This isn’t a dig at any competitor; it is just what is indisputably true about us.

@tZERO is seeking the consent of all tZERO holders to enable the conversion of TZROP security tokens into tokenized Series B preferred equity, strengthening alignment with long-term shareholders and supporting potential future capital formation and strategic transactions. If approved, the proposal would: • provide TZROP holders with equity participation in future value creation • simplify tZERO’s capital structure • support a potential up to $10M capital commitment from @BedBathBeyond Resulting Series B shares are expected to remain tokenized and custodied on-chain within tZERO’s regulated infrastructure, with planned semi-annual, auction-based liquidity opportunities over time. If you are a TZROP holder, please visit our secure voting portal, available here, to learn more about our proposal and to cast your vote. Voting ends at 5:00 p.m. EDT on April 28. 2026.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Mehdi Hasan deleted this tweet because it exposes that he is an extremist. It would be a shame if it went viral.

Do tell me how this is not FASCISM!!!!

Somalis are not garbage. Immigrants and refugees from anywhere are people like you and me. They should not be demonized. This country is built on the backs of people who have come from other places. It’s what our country is all about. 💙

After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.
