From enforcer to advocate: Ex-SEC lawyer talks lessons learned from crossing the crypto divide https://t.co/CVd0FTUA6f
One of the key cases to watch is @BebaCollection and @fund_defi's challenge to the SEC's insane view that airdrops are securities. The SEC wants to evade judicial review. We five firms (@variantfund + @a16z + @multicoincap + @paradigm + @usv) say no way: https://t.co/ggYQbbvkO7
Today, @multicoincap was happy to join with @a16zcrypto @paradigm @usv and @variantfund in filing an Amicus brief for the Beba, LLC complaint against the SEC. https://t.co/HAGjPpenFE

Today, October 28, several prominent crypto advocacy groups, including the Blockchain Association, Crypto Council, and Coinbase, filed amicus briefs in support of BebaCollection and Fund Defi in their lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The lawsuit challenges the SEC's interpretation that airdropped tokens constitute investment contracts and should be classified as securities. The plaintiffs argue that airdrops, which are often free distributions of tokens, do not involve an investment of money and therefore should not be regulated as securities. The case has garnered significant support from various entities within the crypto industry, who argue that the SEC's approach to regulation by enforcement is legally flawed and threatens U.S. leadership and innovation in digital assets.
