Chairman Paul S. Atkins of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wrote to Robert Walley, Chairman of the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) Operating Committee, indicating that the SEC plans to undertake a comprehensive reform of the CAT system, including adjustments to its governance structure, funding sources, and operational model.Atkins stated that during his tenure, the SEC has significantly reduced the annual operating costs of CAT by issuing exemptions and approving amendments to the CAT NMS plan, and has eliminated the requirement to report personally identifiable information (PII) to the CAT system.These reforms have lowered system costs and the scope of data collection, but CAT still faces fundamental issues regarding costs, governance, and funding mechanisms. To address these issues, the SEC released a concept request for comments on April 16, 2026, to conduct a comprehensive review of CAT and other audit trail systems and data sources used in the regulation of U.S. securities markets.The SEC indicated that it has received hundreds of feedback comments, with one core consensus being that investors and market participants want the SEC to take more responsibility for the management and funding arrangements of CAT.Atkins stated that he has asked SEC staff to propose deep reforms for CAT, including: 1. Exploring new funding sources for CAT, including the use of congressional appropriations and transaction fees under Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act; 2. Drafting rule proposals that, if approved, would repeal Rule 613 and require exchanges, FINRA, and broker-dealers to continue using the existing CAT infrastructure and reporting standards to submit CAT data directly to the SEC or its designated agency; 3. Assessing the internal resource needs of the SEC to prepare for the SEC's future assumption of governance responsibilities for CAT.The SEC expects that this reform will involve multiple stages and will need to be advanced simultaneously, with the overall transition potentially lasting until the end of 2027.

ChianCatcher news, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu tweeted that the foundation's work revolves around two main goals: attracting top talent and capital to Solana. Capital and talent are interdependent and mutually prerequisite. She pointed out that "king-making" is shortsighted and self-limiting, and that "trustworthy neutrality" is feasible in code, but insufficient when applied to humans who require judgment. The foundation's principle is to be open to talent: actively promoting competition and letting the market decide the outcome. No one can rise above the market.Regarding perpetual contracts, the foundation has always supported diversity among builders, and the recent efforts include making the perpetual plan and cutting-edge trader program public. It is not true that only one team on Solana can build fully on-chain perpetual contracts; several teams have recently challenged this. A fully on-chain architecture is more valuable for DeFi and Solana's future. The foundation does not determine success or failure; the market does.
