📰🇺🇸 SEC Seeks Explanation from Lawmakers Regarding Special Purpose Broker-Dealer License for Prometheum 📝🏦 According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reached out to several lawmakers, including Patrick McHenry, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, seeking clarification about the process of granting a special purpose broker-dealer license (SPBD) to the digital asset platform Prometheum. The letter, signed by 23 lawmakers, raises questions about how Prometheum secured the SPBD license over other contenders and when the decision was made. Prometheum made history by becoming the first to receive a special purpose broker-dealer approval for digital asset securities under SEC regulations back in May. The move has led to discussions within the cryptocurrency industry about the need for an investigation into the matter. #SEC #Prometheum #SPBDLicense #CryptocurrencyRegulation
