FINRA believes the widespread use of blockchain could come to impact its core business practices.
The self-regulatory organization for US brokers published a new report on blockchain tech yesterday that offers both a broad overview of the tech from the context of its industry, as well as its take on its potential impact on the brokerage sector. FINRA has been open about its work on the technology (in conjunction with its members) in the past, though the release constitutes some of its most direct comments to date.

Most notably, FINRA said that, should the tech see broader use in the financial system, its own rules may need to be modified or changed.
As the report states:
"Many FINRA rules as well as some rules implemented by other regulators (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)), that FINRA is responsible for examining or enforcing with respect to broker-dealers, are potentially implicated by various DLT applications."
Specifically, the tech could affect how FINRA members self-regulate in the areas of AML/KYC, asset verification, business continuity, surveillance and payments, among others.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, recordkeeping rules may also be turned on their head.
"For example, a DLT application that seeks to alter clearing arrangements or serve as a source of recordkeeping by broker-dealers may implicate FINRA's rules related to carrying agreements and books and records requirements," the report’s authors note.
The report goes on to give a high-level overview of the impact of DLT in the debt and derivatives market, as well as explanations of how various industry stakeholders are experimenting with the technology.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Yang perlu diketahui:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
