Quotes

“But that's not the only thing that Congress mandated us to do. Reading the Exchange Act, Congress also mandated the MSRB to establish information systems that promote a fair and efficient market, that facilitate capital formation. And those information systems, is what I mean by our core pillar of technology. It's the technology systems that undergird the market.”
