Stoner Cats NFTs ‘fan crowdfunding’ not securities: SEC’s Peirce, Uyeda By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charging nonfungible token (NFT) project Stoner Cats sparked feedback from commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda, arguing that the project’s activity constitutes fan crowdfunding, which they believe is common for artists.

On Sept. 13, the SEC charged Stoner Cats 2 LLC, the firm behind the animated series dubbed “Stoner Cats,” with conducting an unregistered crypto-securities offering using NFTs. Stoner Cats 2 LLC agreed to a cease-and-desist order and other imposed measures by the commission.
