I’ve said it before and I’ll say it forever. Crypto is inherently nonpartisan. It’s tech that can be used for enormous good for everyone. That’s why so many of us are here. But we’ll only achieve that promise if crypto remains nonpartisan. I’m deeply committed to that path.

If NFTs are securities, everything collectible is a security. And that’s obviously not the law. Such a disappointment to see the SEC continuing to waste its resources —**intended for investor protection** — investigating and suing artists. It makes no sense.

Today Uniswap Labs resolved a CFTC matter, about a fraction of a percent of trading through our interface of a handful of tokens, for a $175k fine in a standard no admit-no deny settlement. We are glad to put this to rest and stay focused on building the future of DeFi for all.

If you think women talk too much, it may be because you expect them to talk so little. A man who runs his mouth and holds court is a confident expert. A woman who speaks up is an aggressive bitch. Recognizing this injustice is a step toward changing it.

@RepRitchie . @RepRitchie also shines a light on the SEC's indifference to artists' First Amendment rights in the Stoner Cats case and the SEC's misleading use of the term "digital asset security," which it "invented out of thin air." This is not okay from a fed agency. Thank you Congressman.

This is such an important point about the actual boundaries of securities law. Even when courts are giving the SEC every last benefit of the doubt, they still can’t make sense of the SEC’s argument that the accused digital asset itself is a security. Because it isn’t.

Another court, this time in the Kraken case, confirms there's no such thing as a “crypto asset security.” Bad news for the SEC, whose entire regulation-by-enforcement strategy hinges on that failed premise.

Thousands of comments were submitted to Treasury (over the holiday!) in this very abbreviated public comment period. But I’m especially proud of the comment Coinbase submitted today — standing up for the public’s privacy rights and for our industry.

@leervalentine OpenSea says the SEC thinks the NFTs are securities. Sure, non-securities can be packaged into securities transactions. But only a narrow category of transactions are securities transactions. And that doesn't make the non-security a security. This is the SEC's core problem.
