Upstream recently applauded SEC’s move towards transparency in short selling as a step in the right direction. “Conventional financial markets do not offer safeguards against short selling. On Upstream, a MERJ Exchange Market powered by blockchain technology, short selling is inherently not allowed. We believe the technology powering Upstream’s investing app signifies the next phase of capital markets, driven by several compelling factors. Notably, the elimination of prevalent market manipulations like short selling stands out as a prominent feature, contributing to the development of a more equitable and transparent trading environment,” reads the announcement, written by Vanessa Malone. “The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) recently implemented new rules for increased transparency in short selling. This marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to ensure market stability and fairness.* The move, first proposed in late 2021 and early 2022, aims to provide greater visibility into the intricate world of short selling, a practice that has long been a subject of debate and controversy…
As we embrace these progressive changes in the regulatory framework, it is imperative for market participants to recognize the value of a robust infrastructure enforced not just by rules and regulation, but by design. Upstream stands as a testament to the potential of blockchain technology in revolutionizing the financial landscape, ensuring that market activities are conducted with utmost transparency and integrity.”
