Why is the SEC going after digital art and monkey pictures?
The SEC has targeted the largest NFT marketplace for unregistered securities trading, and the crypto community is outraged.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Wells notice to OpenSea on Aug. 28, stating that the non-fungible token (NFT) exchange had served as a marketplace for unregistered securities.
OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer said he was “shocked” by the SEC action.
The crypto community protested the notice, which serves as a warning that the SEC may take enforcement action against the exchange.
