This week, Chives and John take a look at Alternate Trading Systems, or ATS. These have transitioned from a small part of the market to representing more than 90% of retail market orders, according to Chairman Gensler in a 2022 Bloomberg interview.

Also covered are emergent new models in the ATS space, such as tZero, and other potential developments in the space such as Block Transfer with a custody-first focus.

This week on Taking Stock, Chives was joined by @WhatCanIMakeToday, to discuss SEC Petitions, the NSCC petition hosted at WhyDRS, and the history of retail advocacy efforts as we grow from simply commenting on the proposals and reforms developed by the industry to skipping their framing and suggesting those reforms ourselves.

This week Chives focuses on regulation in the Transfer Agent space, and we'll touch not only on recent SEC action against TA but on the broader regime, and how we've seen a variety of consolidation in the market sector.

Chives was joined by John Wooten who has a unique and valuable perspective as someone who founded his own Transfer Agent and has been through the approval process with the SEC, and we can hear from him about how the decision to regulate TAs in this way has downstream effects on not only custody and investor safety but on the market itself.
