LBRY lost against US SEC
Last Monday, LBRY Incorporation announced its loss against the US SEC and published a copy of court rulings. Regarding the loss, LBRY tweeted that they are sorry to everyone and will lick their wounds for a while now but would not give up on this matter.
As per the court’s ruling memorandum published by LBRY, the US SEC filed a complaint against them for offering sold and unregistered securities, which is illegal. However, LBRY denied the fact, clarified that they did not sell any securities to them, and countered that it was the LBC token.
On Twitter, LBRY also mentioned that the language used in the ruling sets a dangerous precedent which could turn every cryptocurrency, including ETH in the US, a security. The SEC has not released any statement or press yet regarding the case. The US agency first accused the firm of selling them unregistered securities in the month of March last year.
