OpenSea has received a Wells notice from the SEC threatening to sue us because they believe NFTs on our platform are securities. We're shocked the SEC would make such a sweeping move against creators and artists. But we're ready to stand up and fight. This is a move into uncharted territory. By targeting NFTs, the SEC would stifle innovation on an even broader scale: hundreds of thousands of online artists and creatives are at risk, and many do not have the resources to defend themselves. In addition to standing our own ground, we're pledging $5M to help cover legal fees for NFT creators and devs that receive a Wells notice. Every creator, big or small, should be able to innovate without fear. I hope the SEC will come to its senses sooner rather than later, and that they'll listen with an open mind. Until then, we'll stand up and fight for our industry. Onwards 🌊⛵️

Does the notice apply broadly to all NFTs on opensea or just some?

Most likely it’s just a political election cycle move in opposition to the other side.

That’s right! If they want to have a power, they should legalise crypto and nfts first!

In the name of freedom, decentralization and the web3 ethos you keep purporting to fight and stand for, maybe lift those stupid blanket bans over literally millions of creators, artists and active productive participants in the space whom you have shamelessly purged from your platform just because of their nationality.

Now that I think of it.. what ever happened to the late 2022 probe launched by the SEC into Yuga? I mean… this is disingenuous of them to never have expounded upon that (publicly)…

if our testimony helps, it is all yours. We've minted digital fine art originals on opensea since 2021 and have collected just as many as we've sold. Same team 100%.
