    • Consensys’s Lawsuit Against The SEC: Will It End Gensler's ‘Unlawful Power Grab’? - Ep. 637

      Consensys’s Lawsuit Against The SEC: Will It End Gensler's ‘Unlawful Power Grab’? - Ep. 637
      Apr 26 2024

On Thursday, Consensys sued the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a Texas federal court, seeking to prevent an impending SEC action against its MetaMask wallet and to clarify that ether is not a security. The complaint calls out the agency for what Consensys describes as “regulatory overreach,” challenges its notion that ETH is a security, and says the SEC has violated the Constitutional requirement of fair notice under the due process clause. It notes that for years, the SEC and its sister agency, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, took the position that ETH is not a security. The lawsuit also challenges the SEC’s recent focus on Ethereum's switch to proof of stake in 2022 as a basis for increased scrutiny, a stance Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin deemed "preposterous." Laura Brookover, Senior Counsel & Head of Litigation and Investigations at ConsenSys, joined Unchained to unpack the lawsuit and what it means for the future of Ethereum and overall crypto in the US. Show highlights: Why Consensys sued the SEC and why Brookover feels like the SEC has gone too far How they are looking for a Judge to declare that the ETH is not a security Whether the switch to proof of stake turned ETH into a security Why the SEC issued Consensys a Wells Notice, with one potential allegation being that it is operating an unregistered securities broker through its MetaMask wallet How the major questions doctrine applies to what the SEC is doing in the industry, according to Brookover Why Hinman’s speech is still relevant today, even after 6 years Whether the moves by the SEC are related to a motivation to deny ether spot ETFs How the several cases against the SEC show that the industry “has had enough” Whether Texas is a jurisdiction favorable to crypto, given that many lawsuits are being filed there The implications of a Consensys victory for the industry and what the next steps in the case are Thank you to our sponsors! iTrustCapital Polkadot Guest Laura Brookover, Senior Counsel & Head of Litigation and Investigations at Consensys Links The lawsuit: Fortune: SEC sued over Ethereum, crypto firm asks court to state token is not a security ConsenSys’s complaint Bill Hughes’ thread on why Consensys sued the SEC Consensys is suing the SEC to defend the Ethereum ecosystem Hinman speech CryptoLaw: The Hinman Speech Documents Major questions doctrine Unchained: Why the SEC vs. Ripple Order Is Now About 2 Things: Coinbase and Congress Reuters: SEC argues Coinbase crypto case not barred by ‘major questions’ doctrine Other SEC cases: Coinbase Unchained: Why the SEC’s Case Against Coinbase Is So Significant for Crypto Court Rejects Coinbase’s Bid to Dismiss SEC Charges Against It Uniswap Unchained: Gary Gensler’s Case Against Uniswap: Does the SEC Even Stand a Chance?

      Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform. Jake Chervinsky, chief legal officer of Variant, discusses the current state of crypto regulation, touching on several ongoing legal and regulatory issues in the crypto space, including Uniswap’s Wells notice, the Coinbase case, the Tornado Cash case, the Ethereum Foundation investigation and more. Chervinsky argues that the government's approach to these cases is often misguided, particularly in instances where they hold software developers liable for how third parties use their software. He also discusses the potential implications of the government's case against Tornado Cash, suggesting that it could have far-reaching consequences for all open-source software developers. Chervinsky also delves into the SEC's ongoing investigations into the Ethereum Foundation, as well as the recent IRS draft form that lists unhosted wallets as a type of broker. He expressed concern about the potential impact of these investigations on the crypto industry, but remained optimistic about the future of DeFi in the US. Show highlights: How the Tornado Cash case could set a critical precedent for open-source software How the government’s Tornado indictment reveals a fear of unsurveilled financial systems, according to Jake What the implications of the Tornado Cash case could be for the broader DeFi space What lessons can be learned from the $62 million hack of Munchables on Blast How to address the challenge of malicious actors like North Korea using a permissionless system Whether Coinbase's staking services are considered a securities offering Whether Judge Failla’s ruling on Coinbase acting as a broker could be overturned Why Jake thinks the SEC will face significant challenges in its potential case against Uniswap Labs How the Debt Box case order impacts the SEC’s reputation, according to Jake How the industry is pushing back against the SEC’s regulation by enforcement with its own lawsuits for Lejilex and Beba The future of DeFi in the U.S. and its potential for success, according to Jake Why Jake believes the SEC will deny Ether ETFs and why he disagrees with the latest stablecoin regulation bill by Lummis and Gillibrand How the U.S. Presidential election could impact the future of the crypto industry Thank you to our sponsors!
