It focuses on resolving if investors paid money in a common enterprise with the expectation of profits from the efforts of others.<\/p>\n<p>Although these rules date back to the 1930s, before computers and digital assets, specific cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) (or token pre-sales) have met the definition of an investment contract, according to regulators.<\/p>\n<h2>NYAG says Ethereum is a security<\/h2>\n<p>On March 9, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/nyag-sues-kucoin-over-new-york-operations\/\">NYAG<\/a>, Letitia James, filed a lawsuit against <span class=\"ILfuVd NA6bn\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"hgKElc\">Seychelles-based exchange KuCoin, citing concerns over &#8220;falsely representing itself as an exchange.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today\u2019s action is the latest in our efforts to rein in shadowy cryptocurrency companies and bring order to the industry.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>James said she could trade cryptocurrencies on the exchange in New York, yet the entity was not registered in the state. Furthermore, the AG added that users could buy and sell &#8220;popular virtual currencies, including ETH, LUNA, and TerraUSD (UST), which are securities and commodities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although the principal theme of the lawsuit centered on KuCoin operating illegally in New York, James categorically called out the trading of securities on the platform as a basis for operating illegally, not just failure to register.<\/p>\n<p>This paves the way for Ethereum's U.S. securities status to be determined in a court of law.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This action is one of the first times a regulator is claiming in court that ETH, one of the largest cryptocurrencies available, is a security.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The crypto community chimes in<\/h2>\n<p>Lawyer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jchervinsky\/status\/1633976692493500416\"><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 css-1hf3ou5 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\"><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Jake Chervinsky<\/span><\/span><\/a> dismissed James' claims about Ethereum, saying the enforcement action is simply an unfounded allegation, albeit an allegation from a regulator.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;Agencies are like any other plaintiff: they can write whatever they want in a complaint. It may get some press, but it doesn't change a thing.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Similarly, Messari founder <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/twobitidiot\/status\/1633944850356641793\">Ryan Selkis<\/a> echoed Chervinsky's comments, saying, &#8220;<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">ETH is not a security<\/span>.&#8221; However, Selkis did not provide his reasoning, only hinting at a coordinated attack against crypto, saying, &#8220;the <span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">administrative state is completely out of control.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as expected, Bitcoin maximalist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maxkeiser\/status\/1633986335567495170\">Max Keiser<\/a> opposed the previous consensus, praising regulators for &#8220;finally doing their job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">&#8220;ETH is obviously a security.
