Crypto is Getting Deported From the US

TL;DR

Full Story

The SEC has “gone full Oprah” with these Wells notices (aka: “we plan to sue you” notices).

ICYMI — up to now few weeks, the SEC has handed out Wells notices to:

1. Uniswap (the world’s largest decentralized change).

2. Consesnys (the creators of the world’s hottest scorching pockets, MetaMask).

3. And simply yesterday, Robinhood (you recognize — the app you used to purchase your $GME inventory with just a few years again).

It’s unclear what angle of assault the SEC will take with Robinhood — but it surely doesn’t actually matter at this level.

What issues is the bigger image that’s being painted right here…

As a result of the assault is not targeted on anybody chain or firm — however as a substitute the entire the important thing items of infrastructure that make blockchains work.

So if you happen to solely maintain Bitcoin, and really feel apathetic to this regulatory blitzkrieg as a result of it’s principally been targeted on Ethereum, Solana, and XRP thus far…

We now have some dangerous information.

If the peer-to-peer change of cryptocurrency by way of apps like MetaMask and Uniswap are outlawed within the US, that very same authorized precedent might be wielded to stop you from taking custody of/spending your Bitcoin.

Level is — we’re not speaking about an assault on sure crypto protocols, however on the business as complete (by way of its infrastructure).

Glass half full: even when the SEC have been to succeed right here, crypto would survive.

Glass half empty: no matter whether or not the SEC fails or not, these continued enforcement actions will push innovation out of the US lengthy earlier than any of those circumstances are dominated on.

Two emphatic thumbs down.
