OceanStream at the SEC Crypto Taskforce Roundtable

OceanStream CEO Howie Altman participated in the most recent Crypto Task Force Roundtable convened by Commissioner Peirce. The session focused on regulatory clarity, market observability, and the emerging wave of tokenized assets.

Purpose of Participation

OceanStream joined the discussion to advance practical measures that strengthen market integrity and investor protection through reliable, comparable, and verifiable data.

OceanStream’s Contribution

• Disclosure Standard for CEX-Listed Tokens: We introduced a framework for token disclosures that is comparable across issuers, machine-readable, and independently verifiable.
• From Fragmented to Auditable: Today, key information is scattered across tweets, PDFs, and private sheets. Our approach consolidates disclosures into a structured schema designed for automated validation and public review.
• Operational Observability: We emphasized standardized data as foundational infrastructure for exchanges, institutional participants, and oversight bodies.

Expected Benefits

• Investors: Clear, apples-to-apples information for due diligence.
• Exchanges: Streamlined listing reviews and ongoing monitoring.
• Regulators: Consistent inputs that reduce bespoke data collection.
• Issuers: A predictable pathway to transparent market communication.

Next Steps

OceanStream will collaborate closely with the SEC to determine the best path forward. We invite feedback from market operators, projects, data providers, and policymakers as we move from proposal to implementation. Further updates will follow.
