Nakakuha ang OpenSea ng 'Wells Notice' ng SEC – Reaksyon ng Industriya

Pag-ikot ng komentaryo sa pinakabagong pagkilos ng pagpapatupad ng SEC. Ituturing ba ang lahat ng NFT bilang mga securities?

Updated Aug 28, 2024, 7:21 p.m. Published Aug 28, 2024, 5:51 p.m.

Ngayong umaga, OpenSea sinabi na natanggap isang Wells Notice mula sa Securities Exchange Commission na nagbabala na malapit nang idemanda ng ahensya ang nangungunang NFT platform para sa paglabag sa mga securities laws. Ang bantang aksyon ay ang pinakabago sa mahabang linya ng mga katulad na galaw mula sa SEC, at ang reaksyon mula sa industriya ng Crypto ay naging mabangis at halos magkapareho. Narito ang isang maliit, kinatawan ng sample.

The @SECGov is now trying to claim that NFTs are securities. What's next? Baseball cards? Comic books? @GaryGensler's bad faith and un-American war on crypto is expanding. Digital web3 creators and artists are now in the crosshairs. https://t.co/boCbFI0O3p

Si Sheila Warren, CEO ng Crypto Council, isang trade group (GG = Gary Gensler; namumuno sa isang "anti-crypto army" ay isang ambisyon ng Gensler ally Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)):

Latest round of reg by enforcement spurred by GG, the general of the “anti-crypto army.”

We stand with @opensea and creators everywhere, and commend @dfinzer for his leadership. https://t.co/jqXdGrUlfw

Pangatlo, mayroon kaming Jake Chervinsky ng Variant Fund, na nangangatwiran na ang mga NFT ay T dapat saklawin ng mga batas na naimbento maraming dekada na ang nakaraan (ang Securities Act ay ipinasa noong 1933):

The SEC has fully lost the plot.

The idea that a financial markets regulator established in the 1930s would have jurisdiction over digital art in the 2020s defies not only common sense but also the SEC's statutory authority.

Thanks to @opensea for fighting the good fight 🫡 https://t.co/7Fxx0Ulv5m

Susunod: Gwart, inilarawan sa sarili "Crypto-Twitter troll," tinatalakay ang mas malawak na implikasyon ng SEC na tila sumusunod sa napakalawak na kategorya ng NFT:

If opensea is a securities exchange then so is Etsy and all the hipsters selling pieces of bedazzled driftwood that say “live, laugh, love” for $800 should be thrown in jail too. We just want consistency here.

Bankless co-founder na si Ryan Sean Adams:

The SEC is now planning to sue OpenSea under the claim that NFTs are securities.

So yes @RitchieTorres, apparently Gary Gensler does think tokenized pokemon cards are securities.

OpenSea is now the 6th American born crypto success story under attack by SEC this year - they're…

VC Adam Cochrane:

Easily one of the dumbest Hail Marys Gensler has thrown and yet another reason why he has to be out under any new admin.

It’s clear NFTs are art.

Can you sell art as a security? Sure see @Masterworks

Does OpenSea do that? No.

And the SEC is also targeting them once they’ve… https://t.co/0PFy7IaiM4

Ex-CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz (ngayon ay nasa a16z):

News of @Opensea receiving a Wells Notice shows plain and simple that the current SEC’s crusade against the crypto industry continues unabated. This is in contrast to what Vice President Harris said two weeks ago announcing her economic agenda: pic.twitter.com/cafsHJ6DhU

Ang Bitcoiner na si Jameson Lopp ay nangangatwiran na, kung ang layunin ng SEC ay protektahan ang mga namumuhunan, huli na ang mga taon:

The SEC is swooping in to protect investors from digital art... several years after NFT investors lost all their money. 🤡https://t.co/PgpLQR3AqW

Roham Gharegozlou, CEO ng Dapper Labs, na mayroong ilang proyekto ng NFT:

NFTs that are not financial in nature are clearly not securities and most lawmakers we interface with understand this — we @dapperlabs are working toward legal clarity for NFTs through forthcoming legislation to be introduced in Congress and support OpenSea in their fight as well https://t.co/zhj4LIetjW

REP. Wiley Nickel (D-NC):

Very disappointing to see @SECGov’s continued regulation by enforcement, now targeting #NFT marketplace @opensea.

The SEC and Gary Gensler should abandon this path and work with Congress to establish clear and fair regulations that foster innovation and keep jobs in the U.S.

At sa wakas, si Anthony Scaramucci, na nagsasabing sinisira ni Gensler ang kamakailang mga pagsisikap ng Demokratiko na gumawa ng mga kaalyado sa komunidad ng Crypto :

Gensler wants Harris to lose the election. https://t.co/GT2PpaGIt8
