Bearish on alt coinsInteresting how Coinbase gets a Wells notice from the SEC near midnight lol.
Interesting Twitter thread for more on the subject by @_log_scale_ on this.
Seems like, with more adoption, more regulation will be at play to determine which coins are commodities vs securities via the Howey test; where a security is an "investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others".
Meaning there is a chance that bitcoin comes the U.S.'s native currency as it is considered a commodity. But for 99% of altcoins... its over for them as many of them have employed teams building the code, startup capital from ICOs, DeFi lending yields, etc. making them a security... which is at risk of being delisted from CeX's.
Overall, go short on altcoins. Long on BTC and any true commodities on the crypto space deemed from the SEC.
