SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]


WAMEX Holdings, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

June 14, 2000.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 
WAMEX Holdings, Inc. (``WAMEX'') because of questions regarding the 
accuracy of assertions by WAMEX, and by others, in documents sent to 
and statements made to market makers of the stock of WAMEX, other 
broker-dealers, and to investors concerning: (1) WAMEX's ability to 
comply with the Commission's regulations regarding the operation of an 
Alternative Trading System; and (2) funds purportedly raised by WAMEX 
from private investors. In addition, recent market activity in WAMEX 
securities may be the result of manipulative conduct or other illegal 
activity.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to section 12(k) of the 
Securities Act of 1934, that trading in the above listed company is 
suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, June 14, 2000 through 
11:59 p.m. EDT, on June 27, 2000.

    By the Commission.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
