Julian_Williams Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Video commentary Quote "Came out of nowhere, a lot of work has been put into this" "Exchanges will have to delist is this bill gets passed" I think Gensler is orchestrating a lot of this. Gensler has not answered Sen Warren's letter (it was due yesterday) Edited July 30, 2021 by Julian_Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
