SEC naj bi ciljala na trg NFT zaradi morebitnih kršitev zakonodaje o vrednostnih papirjih

The SEC is investigating NFT creators and cryptocurrency exchanges over potential violations of securities law, according to Bloomberg. 

The probe is looking into whether NFTs (non-fungible tokens) “are being utilized to raise money like traditional securities,” unnamed sources told the news outlet. 

The federal agency is seeking information, in particular, on fractional NFTs — crypto assets that have been divided or securitized, allowing many investors to own a fraction.

NFTs can be deemed securities if they pass the so-called “Howey Test,” a regulatory standard used to determine if a transaction has an “investment contract,” according to the SEC.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce may have previously signaled an inquiry during an interview with Coindesk TV lanskega decembra.

»Glede na širino pokrajine NFT bi nekateri njeni deli lahko spadali v našo pristojnost,« je dejal Peirce. "Ljudje morajo razmišljati o potencialnih mestih, kjer bi lahko NFT naleteli na regulativni režim za vrednostne papirje."

Qualifying as a security and meeting regulatory requirements, however, have been points of uncertainty for crypto startups. A pritožba na skupinsko tožbo was filed last year against NFT creator Dapper Labs, alleging that some of the digital collectibles were acting as unregistered securities.
