However, it stipulates that an asset may be an exception if:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>the digital asset is offered or sold to purchasers at a discount to the value of the goods or services; the digital asset is offered or sold to purchasers in quantities that exceed reasonable use; and\/or there are limited or no restrictions on reselling those digital assets, particularly where an AP is continuing in its efforts to increase the value of the digital assets or has facilitated a secondary market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Commission added a caveat that &#8220;these factors are not intended to be exhaustive in<br \/>\nevaluating whether a digital asset is an investment contract or any other type of security, and no single factor is determinative.&#8221; The document also contains extensive footnoting explaining its position.<\/p>\n<h2>SEC enforcement actions<\/h2>\n<p>SEC Chair Gary Gensler has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-chairman-gary-gensler-calls-bitcoin-a-commodity\/\">described<\/a>\u00a0all digital assets except Bitcoin (<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC<\/a>) as securities and highlighted the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sec-chair-gensler-highlights-crypto-firms-non-compliance-in-house-committee-testimony\/\">noncompliance<\/a> of crypto companies.
