Fairmint, an on-chain securities platform, has proposed a blockchain framework-based regulatory overhaul for private equity markets.
In its detailed proposal to the SEC, Fairmint highlighted the inefficiencies of outdated infrastructures in the $6 trillion US private securities market.
The agency recommended protocol-level interoperability to address the fragmented systems among transfer agents.
To enhance regulatory oversight and investor access, Fairmint suggested implementing blockchain-based observer nodes and self-custody for investors.
Fairmint also pushed for a knowledge-based accreditation model and a non-custodial broker-dealer structure to promote market activity.
The proposed changes aim to streamline settlements, reduce administrative burdens, and foster innovation in the private equity markets.
