Peter Van Valkenburgh, director of research at Coin Center, comes to talk about the SEC probe into Yuga Labs, how to determine whether something is a security, and Coin Center’s lawsuit against the US Treasury over the sanctions on Tornado Cash.
Show highlights:
- whether there’s an over-reliance on the Howey Test and how a token being non-fungible doesn’t mean it’s not a security
- what constitutes an investment contract and how it works in the Metaverse
- the consequences for NFT holders and issuers if the NFTs are considered securities
- why Coin Center is suing the US Treasury over the Tornado Cash sanctions
- Who the plaintiffs are
- whether this lawsuit differs from the one Coinbase is supporting
- how to solve the issue of bad actors like North Korea using tools such as Tornado Cash to launder money
- the remedy Coin Center is looking for in the lawsuit against the Treasury
- how long the lawsuit could take to be resolved
