Is the SEC really on the verge of choking digital art and innovation’s golden goose? OpenSea’s recent request to Commissioner Hester Peirce, essentially begging not to be strangled by securities regulations, should be a wake-up call. Addressing this issue goes beyond just one company. It affects the future of the...
In particular, OpenSea does not want to admit liability under the SEC’s test. They're cozying up to Commissioner Hester Peirce, asking to be excluded from securities regulations, claiming they're not really an exchange. Don't buy it. In other words, it’s not purely about innovation. It’s about carving out regulatory space...
The world’s largest non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea is doing its part.

This isn't just about OpenSea protecting its bottom...
The SEC is circling OpenSea. Again. Last year’s Wells notice sent a chill up the spine of every NFT creator, collector, and marketplace. In July 2016, when Trump took over the Republican primary, the SEC retreated. Now, the threat looms again. OpenSea is well within its rights to push back,...
OpenSea is fighting the notion that it would be subject to regulation as a broker under the Exchange Act. The company maintains that its non-fungible-token (NFT) marketplace does not need to be regulated like a traditional securities exchange. The company has gone to great lengths to make sure users know...
Now, OpenSea, the leading centralized NFT marketplace, is making a surprising move. It’s all part of their efforts to better define their regulatory status with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company has been vocally pushing the SEC to publicly recognize that NFT marketplaces, such as their own,...
Recently, OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, made an unprecedented move. Specifically, they petitioned the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to exempt NFT platforms from federal securities regulations. OpenSea’s legal counsel, Adele Faure and Laura Brookover, called out SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce as well as the SEC Crypto Task Force....
In the meantime, OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, has made a daring move. In so doing, they formally asked the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide explicit guidance on the regulatory status of NFT platforms. Lately, OpenSea itself weighed in, in a letter to the SEC, urging them to...

The cryptocurrency market is frequently described as volatile, but the recent market movements have made those characterizations almost an understatement.

The crypto landscape is abuzz—and for good reason. XRP re-acquired that position recently, overtaking USDT market cap, if just for a day or two. This price action is huge and warrants celebration. The flashing yellow light is a signal to be cautious. The report implies that the current state of...
Okay, let's talk about XRP. I’m reading headlines about its price skyrocketing, market cap surpassing Tether, all this so-called “great news.” It just makes me anxious. Not excited, anxious.
