Blockchain Association Files FOI Inquiry Into Prometheum

The Blockchain Association has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with an inquiry into the regulator’s interactions with Prometheum, a relatively lesser-known cryptocurrency exchange that has recently garnered significant attention. Prometheum’s co-CEO Aaron Kaplan was recently invited to testify before Congress, a rare occurrence for an executive from a relatively obscure company in a nascent industry.
