Statement On The Further Definition Of A Dealer-Trader, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, March 28, 2022

Date 28/03/2022

Today, the Commission unanimously proposed two rules further defining a dealer to help identify principal trading firms (PTFs) and firms conducting similar activities that must register with the SEC. I was pleased to support this proposal because I believe it reflects Congress’s statutory intent that firms engaging in important liquidity-providing roles in the securities markets, including in the U.S. Treasury market, be registered with the Commission. Further, requiring all firms that regularly make markets, or otherwise perform important liquidity-providing roles, to register as dealers or government securities dealers also could help level the playing field among firms and enhance the resiliency of our markets.
