1. Two artists sued the US SEC over whether NFT is a security and its jurisdiction
Golden Finance reported that two NFT artists sued the US SEC over whether NFT is a security and its jurisdiction. Law professor Brian Frye and "Song a Day Mann" songwriter Jonathan Mann filed a lawsuit against the US SEC and its five commissioners in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana on Monday. Lawyers for the two artists accused the SEC of launching a "campaign to assert jurisdiction over the sale of digital art," citing Taylor Swift's tickets as an example, and cited the agency's two recent cases against NFTs. Both companies are preparing NFT projects and are seeking declaratory judgments from the court. The SEC declined to comment on the complaint. Ashley Ebersole, general counsel of 0x Labs and former SEC lawyer, said that the SEC's previous NFT enforcement actions had been settled, so the court had little opportunity to consider whether NFTs were securities.
