Usuários do OpenSea acusam a plataforma de comércio de tokens não fungíveis de vender contratos de títulos não registrados

Odaily Daily Planet News Two OpenSea users filed a class action lawsuit against the NFT trading platform OpenSea in the federal court of Florida, USA, alleging the sale of unregistered securities contracts. Plaintiffs Anthony Shnayderman and Itai Bronshtein claim that the Token não fungível (including the once highly priced Bored Ape Yacht Club series) they purchased on OpenSea is “worthless” due to its “illegal nature.” The plaintiffs cited last month’s disclosure by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Wells notice as evidence. They believe this indicates that OpenSea may face legal liability for facilitating unregistered securities transactions. The lawsuit also mentioned the SEC’s previous successful enforcement actions against NFT projects such as Stoner Cats 2 and Impact Theory, in which the SEC determined that these NFTs were sold as unregistered securities. The plaintiffs claim that, according to the Howey test, the NFTs on the OpenSea platform meet the definition of investment contracts under US securities law. The plaintiffs believe that these NFTs constitute an investment in a common enterprise and reasonably expect to profit from the efforts of others. The plaintiffs allege that the listing of NFTs on OpenSea is deceptive and misled them into purchasing “worthless and illegal unregistered securities.” They claim that OpenSea violated user warranties and failed to effectively regulate unregistered securities on the platform. OpenSea has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit. (Cointelegraph)
