Other items on FINRA’s list includes a proposal to seek “essential information” from crowdfunding portals that want to apply for membership with FINRA under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act.

The article goes on to mention that previously the North American Securities Administrators listed Crowdfunding as one of its “top investor threats” earlier this year. This was previously reported in AdvisorOne as well. You may view that list in its entirety here.
