Quantum founder: SEC threatens the future of cryptocurrencies

Soon there may be a judicial precedent that will allow the US authorities to liquidate any project related to digital assets, Mati Greenspan said.

Quantum Economics founder Mati Greenspan believes the actions of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) threaten the future of cryptocurrencies. So he commented on the accusations of the regulator against the platform for the distribution of content LBRY. At the end of March, the SEC accused the site of selling unregistered securities worth millions of US dollars under the guise of LBRY Credit tokens.

“If the court ruled against LBRY, it would call into question the future of all cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum,” added the founder of Quantum Economics.

Mati Greenspan, in response to the SEC’s actions, published a newsletter titled “Don’t let them kill crypto”. In it, he argues that the LBRY litigation could have dramatic consequences. In his opinion, this situation could create a precedent that would classify digital currencies as securities.

“Judges are usually guided by previous decisions in similar cases, so a negative decision here can make it easier for them to liquidate any project that uses crypto tokens. DeFi, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), smart contracts, and just about anything other than possibly stablecoins will be on the hook, ”added Mati Greenspan.

LBRY is a content distribution platform where users themselves determine the fees and conditions on which they are willing to share their content using blockchain technology and the Bittorrent protocol.

Earlier, Don Fitzpatrick, the investment director of the legendary financier George Soros’ company Soros Fund Management, warned that the emergence of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) would be a threat to bitcoin.
