1/ The Wells Notice to OpenSea highlights SEC Gary Gensler’s approach of regulation by enforcement, continuing his pattern of targeting high-profile innovators instead of fostering a regulatory environment that truly protects investors and consumers. What’s at stake?

I've spent the last several years studying NFTs, and have seen firsthand how much social value they create and the novel business models they enable.

Simple lesson we should have already learned — your frontend should comply with the laws of the jurisdiction where it’s facilitating conduct. The CFTC continues to focus on regulating apps/frontends, not protocols. On businesses, not software. Good. a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/…

The overarching lesson of crypto, SPAC and IPO markets is that accelerating the pathway to secondary liquidity for any asset increases the prevalence of get-rich-quick-schemes. The solution is mandating long holding periods -- we need to barriers to insiders dumping on retail.

It should be pretty simple. Securities markets and laws were designed for investing in centralized companies. We need a new approach for investing in decentralized networks.
