BREAKING: Opensea NFTs Declared Securities, Devastated Crypto Bro Bros Left to Pick Up Pieces of Their Shattered Dreams

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water… or rather, invest your life savings into some overhyped digital collectibles – NFTs that is. The SEC has issued a Wells notice to Opensea, signaling its intention to take action against the marketplace for allegedly selling securities on their platform. Because, you know, nothing says ‘security’ like a bunch of random numbers and pixels created by an algorithm (I’m looking at you, crypto bros). Devin Finzer, CEO of Opensea, is all upset about this, claiming that regulating NFTs as securities will stifle innovation and hurt creators.

And while we’re at it, what’s with the SEC being so slow on this? Shouldn’t they be cracking down on all these crypto scams left and right?.
