22/ IN CONCLUSION, the framework is definitely a cumulation of the cautionary lessons that we've learned from the SEC's past enforcement actions (don't shill your token $ value, actually develop a usable token, have a real plan to decentralize out your team, etc).

SEC's #FinHubSEC publishes a framework for analyzing whether a digital asset is offered and sold as an investment contract, and, therefore, is a security #SEC #HoweyTest #ICO #Crypto #DigitalAssets #Securities sec.gov/news/public-statemen…

No, no! It wasn't because of an April Fool says this dude (phew): newsbtc.com/2019/04/02/no-bi…

Could yesterday's #bitcoin rally have been caused by an @Bloomberg April fool on #ETF approval? I really hope the market has now matured sufficiently for this not to be true! fastcompany.com/90328414/bit…

"Customer assets held by exchanges must be subject to greater regulation and oversight" says former #Quadriga lawyer #bitcoin #cryptoexchanges coindesk.com/from-law-to-law…

"Leveraged ETFs took 6 years for approval. Actively managed ETFs nearly 6 years as well. The 5 year bitcoin journey is not atypical. It's necessary for investor protection" says @bitwise. Yes & #Bitcoin #ETF represents bigger a paradigm shift than earlier approvals did

If there's ever a #bitcoin #ETF approved in US, diligent/measured analysis like this will need to inform equally diligent/measured policy decisions. "The bitcoin market is smaller, but more efficient and regulated than reported, mitigating concerns around market manipulation"
