A SYNOPSIS OF THE @SECGov 🆚 @LBRYcom SUMMARY JUDGMENT TRANSCRIPT.

As I said during @CryptoLawUS’s livestream after watching the SEC 🆚 LBRY Summary Judgment argument below is my single biggest criticism and observation along with direct quotes from the hearing.

Token lockups are a fundamental part of venture funding in crypto.

We took a look at token vesting trends over the last few years in an attempt to find an optimal vesting schedule for founders.

@SECGov The SEC is a regulatory agency with an enforcement division, not an enforcement agency. Why are we leading with enforcement in crypto?

Comments on the SEC's proposed rule expanding the definition of "exchange" to (maybe) capture DeFi are due today.

As usual, the crypto industry is showing up in a big way. Read @BlockchainAssn's comment here: https://t.co/Eaa0RANJpr

1/ The SEC’s proposal to expand the definition of “exchange” is so broad and ambiguous that it may (or may not!) implicate DeFi.

1/ The EU AML rules voted on Thursday originate from the so-called FATF travel rule first "recommended" in 2019.

Every country on earth has to (and will) implement measures to comply with it & as usual, the EU has gone further than everyone else.

The SEC just proposed a rule that would expand the definition of regulated "dealers" to include people who "employ passive market making strategies" that have "the effect of providing liquidity" to others.

It's 200 pages but doesn't say "DeFi" even once. https://t.co/nB9TVQrZ7R
