The SEC's latest enforcement action is targeting NFTs, and OpenSea is in the crosshairs. In this episode, crypto lawyer Preston Byrne joins to unpack the implications of the SEC's Wells Notice to OpenSea and what it might mean for the platform and the broader NFT market. Could Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provide a unique defense for OpenSea? Preston also dives into other recent SEC moves, including cases against Stoner Cats, Impact Theory, and more.  Lastly, with the 2024 elections looming and political divides sharpening, is the SEC overreaching in its approach to crypto? Show highlights: Why Preston believes that the SEC will go after OpenSea for being an unregistered securities exchange What the Stoner Cats case was about and why it was not a strong enforcement action, according to Preston Why OpenSea's defense against the SEC may hinge on Section 230 protections for user-generated content, setting it apart from traditional exchanges like Coinbase or Binance How the clear-cut promises made by Impact Theory about potential returns made their NFTs resemble securities, unlike the typical art-focused NFTs on OpenSea Why Nate Chastain's NFT insider trading case is unlikely to impact the SEC's potential lawsuit against OpenSea Whether the $4 million settlement by Dapper Labs over NBA Top Shot NFTs likely represents little relevance to OpenSea's SEC issues What a Wells notice signals about the SEC's likelihood of suing OpenSea and why they might feel confident about winning this case How Jonathan Mann and Brian Frye's lawsuit for clarity on NFTs as securities highlights the SEC's potentially overreaching stance in its possible case against OpenSea How Trump's careful language around his NFT collection likely minimizes SEC risk by avoiding investment promises and focusing on their use as digital collectibles Whether the SEC's actions could reinforce the divide among crypto voters, with Trump promising a crypto-friendly stance and Harris likely continuing a more adversarial approach Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors! iTrustCapital Polkadot Token 2049 Mantle's FBTC Gemini Guest Preston Byrne, Managing Partner at Byrne & Storm Links Wells notice Original announcement by X by OpenSea's CEO Devin Finzer Unchained: OpenSea's Wells Notice From the SEC Could Prove ‘Disastrous' Recent cases Unchained: Are NFTs Securities Offerings?

Benny Giang is the Co-Founder & Partner @ Future Primitive (https://futureprimitive.xyz). Future Primitive is a venture studio that builds startups, projects, and technologies for decentralized communities—including projects like token bound accounts (ERC 6551), a new primitive that will give every NFT its own account/wallet address. In this episode we chat through his work as a founding member of CryptoKitties and Dapper Labs, how he determines which projects to back as an angel investor or advisor, the genesis and possibilities of token bound accounts, how to think about learning about your community, his view on the near-term future of crypto, & much more.Recorded Monday November 13, 2023.

Last week in crypto, Bitcoin dipped down, and at time of writing/recording sits at $36,290.  The news we're most excited about though, Blockchain.com closed a $110M round of funding, led by UK-based Kingsway Capital, the latest sign that crypto-focused venture capital investments are picking up amid this year's rebound in digital-asset prices.  Disney and Dapper Labs are collaborating on a new NFT collectibles platform called Disney Pinnacle. Inspired by Disney's physical pins, the platform will offer digital collectibles based on Disney, Pixar, and Star Wars characters, minted as NFTs on the Flow blockchain. Characters like Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Disney Princesses, and Darth Vader will be featured. While Marvel is not mentioned at launch, Dapper Labs CEO hinted at potential future additions. Disney Pinnacle is designed for mobile use and aims to strike a balance between accessibility for fans and limited or even super limited edition assets for collectors. The platform's waitlist is open, and a gradual onboarding process for beta testing will begin before public launch. Dapper Labs, known for NBA Top Shot's success, introduced Disney to NFTs, and the collaboration signifies the broader application of NFTs beyond sports. Uniswap Labs, the developer of the decentralized exchange Uniswap, has launched its Android app, catering to approximately 430,000 users on the waitlist. This move is part of Uniswap Labs' strategy to expand its user base globally, given Android's 70% market share worldwide. The Android app, following a beta release in October, complements the previously launched iOS app in April. To enhance international reach, Uniswap Labs is adding more languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. A few weeks ago, we talked about Uniswap Labs' decision to charge a 15 basis point fee on certain tokens, which has generated nearly $1 million in revenue, a strategy that's been implemented on both the iOS and Android apps too.

ARK Invest and 21Shares, two investment firms, submitted two new Ethereum futures ETFs to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 24, 2023. The ETFs, which are called the ARK 21Shares Active Ethereum Futures ETF (ARKZ) and the ARK 21Shares Active Bitcoin Ethereum Strategy ETF (ARKY), would invest in cash-settled Ethereum futures contracts.Subscribe nowThis is the second time that ARK Invest and 21Shares have applied for an Ethereum ETF. Their first application, which was for a spot Ethereum ETF, was rejected by the SEC in February 2023.The SEC has not yet approved any Ethereum ETFs, but there is speculation that it may be more likely to approve a futures ETF than a spot ETF. Futures ETFs are less risky than spot ETFs because they do not involve the actual purchase of Ethereum.Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, is a well-known advocate for cryptocurrencies. She has said that she believes Ethereum has the potential to be a trillion-dollar asset.Wood's bet on sports gaming seems to be paying off. In recent months, several sports leagues have announced partnerships with blockchain companies. For example, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has partnered with Dapper Labs to create NFTs, and the National Football League (NFL) has partnered with Animoca Brands to create a blockchain game.This increased interest in sports gaming could be a boon for Ethereum. Ethereum is the underlying platform for many popular NFT projects and blockchain games. As the sports gaming industry grows, it is likely to drive demand for Ethereum.Here are some additional thoughts on the potential impact of Ethereum futures ETFs and sports gaming on the crypto market:Ethereum futures ETFs could make it easier for institutional investors to invest in Ethereum. This could lead to increased demand for Ethereum and could push prices higher.Sports gaming could also be a major driver of demand for Ethereum. As the sports gaming industry grows, it is likely to drive demand for Ethereum-based NFTs and blockchain games.However, it is important to note that the crypto market is still very volatile. Prices can fluctuate wildly, and there is no guarantee that Ethereum futures ETFs or sports gaming will have a positive impact on the price of Ethereum.Overall, the potential impact of Ethereum futures ETFs and sports gaming on the crypto market is uncertain. However, it is an important development that is worth monitoring.

Brian Mark is the COO at Rumfoords Creative Agency. Before this current gig, he has been at the forefront of a bunch of projects in the crypto space at companies like Adidas, FWB, Rally, and Dapper Labs. We talk about cult brands, that ultimately brought him out of bike shops, to Chrome Industries, and eventually to Adidas.

He also talks through focused, premium small mint projects as a way of interacting with the most valuable customers. We talk about technology innovations, bubbles, and sustained growth in emerging markets. Finally we touch on composable identity, digital value, and first founders' disadvantage: what should you look out for when you are in an emerging space like Web3 or AI. Hosted on Acast.
