Today is the 1 week anniversary of @blockchainassn filing its first lawsuit against the SEC - challenging the dealer rule. It's unfortunate that it's come to this, but we're excited to defend our members and the industry alongside our co-plaintiff, the Crypto Freedom Alliance of Texas. https://t.co/JnWZcKVXzO

We raise several APA claims centering on the SEC’s unlawful redefining of the term “dealer.” By statute, the courts, and the SEC’s own interpretation, being a “dealer” previously turned on the specific services offered to customers. The SEC has flipped this on its head.

Now, the redefined term doesn’t factor in a customer relationship and focuses entirely on whether a person’s activity has the post hoc effect of providing liquidity. The rule violates the APA by exceeding the SEC’s statutory authority and failing to contain proper analysis.
