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 🌊⛵️

You guys should have just released that token in 2021... 

They still came after you guys 😭

You have 30 million NFT collections and made no attempt at keeping what were clear securities off the site. Case in point? Stoner Cats.
At best you're going to agree to a big ole fine and Gary will get another crypto notch in his belt.

That's unfortunate and we hope you can stand the ground and win any cases.

On a side note, it would be amazing if @EVMavericks collection finally got verified after a couple of years.
