Post by Eleanor Terrett on SEC Rulings, SCOTUS Chevron Ruling and Consensys‬⁩’ MetaMask‬⁩ vs SEC

by Larry Chiang on July 4, 2024

Interesting day for the @SECGov to file given this morning’s SCOTUS #Chevron ruling, but remember…
The overturning of Chevron doesn’t strip the SEC of its ability to bring enforcement actions. 
The SEC can still say to a judge “hey, we believe this activity violates securities laws” and a judge will make a decision based on how he or she interprets the existing law. 
What the Chevron ruling may do is give the SEC’s claim that @Consensys is an unregistered broker dealer engaging in the offer and sale of unregistered securities less weight in the eyes of a judge than it may have done yesterday. 
In other words, the SEC’s claim that it has full jurisdiction over #crypto matters less today than it did yesterday because there is a question over whether Congress has given the SEC authority to regulate it based on whether or not it’s a security.

🚨NEW: The ⁦‪@SECGov‬⁩ has formally charged ⁦‪@Consensys‬⁩ with violating securities laws by operating as an unregistered broker dealer and engaging in the offer and sale of securities through its ⁦‪@MetaMask‬⁩ platform.

This was expected, following the Wells notice Consensys received in pic.twitter.com/1Fi4cvp3ek
