CryptoCounsel

In Episode 2 of the CryptoCounsel, hosts Josh and Frank decode recent litigation with the SEC and two key cases in the Southern District of New York. In the first case, a judge found that Ripple's cryptocurrency XRP is not a security when sold to individual investors. But in the second case, a different SDNY judge found that 13 of Coinbase's listed cryptocurrencies are securities. These divergent cases underscore the complexity and uncertainty of applying existing securities laws to cryptocurrencies, which will continue to be contested in the courts.

In the first episode of the CryptoCounsel at Wiley, hosts Josh Simmons and Frank Scaduto discuss the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency regulation, focusing on recent disputes and the challenges posed by the SEC's regulatory actions. Using the Howey Test from a 1946 Supreme Court case involving orange groves, they explain how the SEC determines if an asset is a security and how the SEC needs a better regulatory framework for the rapidly growing crypto industry.
