Statement On The Order Granting Temporary Conditional Exemptive Relief From Certain Requirements Of The National Market System Plan Governing The Consolidated Audit Trail, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, July 8, 2022

Date 08/07/2022

I support granting temporary exemptive relief for certain provisions of the consolidated audit trail (“CAT”). The CAT, a project designed to give the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulators comprehensive market insight, has proved much harder and more expensive to implement than anyone anticipated. I have grave concerns about the whole project. The dollars, distraction, dissension, and drain of endless meetings over the past several years of CAT implementation are reasons enough to reconsider the entire project; the risks to liberty and security posed by the project should compel us to do so.

ING, NXP And Samsung Develop New Way Of Paying With Your Mobile Phone

Date 08/07/2022

ING and NXP Semiconductors have developed a payment method that involves pointing your mobile phone in the direction of the person you’re paying. The method is called NEAR and was developed by ING Factory, ING’s workshop for technological customer and payment innovations. ING and NXP are collaborating with Samsung to ensure that the payment method is compatible with their devices. This first peer-to-peer payment application involves making a payment by holding a phone close to another phone. It means that users no longer need to search for each other’s username, email address or telephone number if, for example, they want to buy something at a jumble sale, put some money in a collection box or split a restaurant bill.
