The SEC has moved from Rulemaking to Enforcement. Without clear rules, you must prove your algorithm is innocent.
Since Delphia and Global Predictions cases (2024), the SEC aggressively pursues discrepancies between marketing and implementation.
Rule 17a-4 now allows cryptographic audit trails instead of WORM storage. The SEC demands verifiable history.
CAT and Reg NMS require 100 microsecond synchronization for SROs. Inconsistent timestamps make event reconstruction impossible.
Mathematical Impossibility of Tampering
Regulatory Alignment: Rule 17a-4 Audit Trail Alternative
Temporal Truth in Nanoseconds
Regulatory Alignment: Reg NMS / CAT Rule 613
AI Governance Metadata
Regulatory Alignment: Anti-Fraud / Fiduciary Duty
Lifecycle Completeness
Regulatory Alignment: CAT Rule 613 / Best Execution
