[U.S. SEC Proposes Reform of Accredited Investor Rules, Grayscale Parent Company DCG Founder’s 15-Year-Old Suggestion Finally Coming to Fruition] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on October 5, Grayscale parent company DCG posted on the X platform, stating that last week the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed reforms to the accredited investor rules. The reform would allow certain investors to qualify for participation in the private market through methods such as examinations. This initiative aligns with a similar suggestion made by DCG founder Barry Silbert 15 years ago. It is reported that Barry Silbert, during the period around 2011 when he founded SecondMarket, proposed that the SEC’s 'accredited investor' rules, which primarily rely on income and net worth standards, do not necessarily reflect investment capability. Some high-net-worth individuals may lack sufficient financial knowledge, while certain ordinary investors who pass financial literacy tests set by regulatory agencies should also have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the private market.
