Expert Statements
Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO
“Securing both exchange and clearinghouse approvals is a major achievement for tZERO and illustrates our ability to deliver on the company’s roadmap and business plans and drive shareholder value and revenue opportunities. Our derivatives infrastructure vertical is truly unique. Most holders of these capabilities use them to support their own books of business – tZERO once again rises to provide an independent service to the industry that seeks to enable a range of market participants who do not and cannot have these capabilities in any reasonable timeframe. We appreciate the CFTC’s thorough review and look forward to advancing this next phase of our strategy.”
