Today @fund-defi and @blockchainassn filed an amicus brief in support of a challenge to the SEC’s Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), arguing that the CAT, especially when it pertains to the digital asset sector, “unacceptably undermines privacy and personal freedom.”
ICYMI, the CAT is the largest database of securities txs ever created and will include personally identifiable information on every retail brokerage customer in the U.S. Given the SEC’s position that digital asset market participants are exchanges, brokers, and/or dealers, the SEC may force them to comply with CAT reporting requirements.
The result, which we warn the court about, is that the CAT could connect personally identifiable user info with wallet addresses, providing the government with more tools to track user financial activity for all time. This info would then be at the disposal of the government, creating unprecedented privacy concerns.
