Groovy Company, Inc. (OTCID:GROO), a Wyoming corporation now known as OTCM Protocol, today announced the launch of Security Meme Tokens (SMTs), a breakthrough financial innovation aimed at solving the decades‑old liquidity crisis plaguing over 11,000 companies on US over‑the‑counter markets. By combining SEC‑compliant securities with blockchain technology and meme culture dynamics, SMTs unlock an estimated $50 billion in trapped shareholder value while providing companies with unprecedented access to global liquidity.
Security Meme Tokens (SMTs) are meme tokens on the Solana blockchain, each backed 1:1 by Series “M” Preferred Shares held permanently at Empire Stock Transfer, an SEC‑registered transfer agent, driven by the community of the public companies. This revolutionary structure enables instant settlement, 24/7 trading, and community‑driven price discovery while maintaining full regulatory compliance.
“Today marks a turning point for American small‑cap markets,” said Frank Yglesias, CTO of OTCM Protocol. “We’ve created a bridge between Wall Street and blockchain that respects securities law while delivering the liquidity shareholders desperately need. Security Meme Tokens aren’t just another crypto project—they’re a lifeline for thousands of legitimate companies abandoned by traditional market makers.”
The OTC Market Emergency
The statistics are staggering: 90 % of OTC companies have no market maker support. Companies pay $25,000‑$75,000 annually for compliance and market‑making services, yet receive virtually no trading volume. Shareholders find themselves trapped, unable to sell positions even in profitable companies. This liquidity desert has created a vicious cycle where companies delist, shareholders lose everything, and legitimate businesses fail not from poor operations but from capital‑market abandonment.
The SMT Solution
Security Meme Tokens solve this crisis through innovative architecture:
- •Permanent Share Backing: Companies create 1 billion Series “M” Preferred Shares—special non‑voting, non‑dividend shares immune to dilution—and deposit them permanently with Empire Stock Transfer. These shares back tokens 1:1, ensuring real value, and SMTs are registered in the State of Wyoming as a digital asset.
- •Blockchain Efficiency: Built on Solana, SMTs settle instantly instead of T+2, trade 24/7 instead of market hours only, and cost $0.00025 per transaction instead of traditional brokerage fees.
- •Meme Culture Integration: By embracing community‑driven trading and social media engagement, SMTs harness the viral growth potential that turned unknown stocks into household names, but with real asset backing, preventing total loss.

The Bigger Picture
(SMT) Security Meme Tokens represent more than a technical innovation—they’re a fundamental reimagining of how small‑cap markets should work. By eliminating intermediaries, reducing costs, and enabling true price discovery, SMTs create efficient markets that benefit everyone: companies get liquidity, shareholders get exits, and traders get opportunities.
“We’re not trying to replace traditional markets,” Frank Yglesias, CTO of OTCM Protocol, emphasizes. “We’re augmenting them with technology that should have existed years ago. Every OTC company deserves a liquid market. Every shareholder deserves an exit option. (SMT) Security Meme Tokens deliver both.”
