OpenAssets says its SEC-registered transfer agent already keeps shareholder records onchain

OpenAssets says its SEC-registered transfer agent, OpenAgent, already runs the model the SEC's proposed rules would allow: shareholder positions onchain, personal data offchain. OpenAgent records wallets, quantities, and each mint, burn, or transfer onchain, with a wallet-to-customer mapping linking to private identity records, letting issuers read the register as it changes. The SEC's September 1 proposal would permit distributed ledgers for master securityholder files, with Form TA-2 distinguishing issuer-sponsored from third-party-sponsored tokens. Comments close Nov. 3. CEO Gabor Gurbacs said choosing a transfer agent now means choosing which record the market trusts.
