1) I'M NOT A REGULATOR, THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

but:

my current best guess is consistent what @GaryGensler says: that the CFTC will regulate spot + futures for non-security tokens, and the SEC will regulate spot + issuance of tokens that are securitieshttps://t.co/c96a8Sm5mm

3) It seems pretty likely that BTC, ETH, and many forks/variants will not be securities; and that many other tokens will be securities.

(How about other large tokens? Or futures or swaps on security tokens? Or tokenized stocks? And what exactly is a stablecoin? We'll see!)

4) And, for what it's worth:

I think this is all pretty reasonable; and a resolution providing regulatory oversight along these lines would be healthy for consumers, protect against risk, prevent scams, give clarity to the industry, and allow liquidity to come back to the US.

5) And it's consistent with what @gillibrandny / @SenLummis drafted–

as well as what @tphillips and others have argued for from the customer protection angle

$19,500 is now key resistance for #bitcoin. Get a close above that on the daily and we could be in for a short-term rally back up to like 22k. pic.twitter.com/31jhVQ0RXf

I don't know what's on Twitter's todo list, but I'd assume bots should be high priority given the pending case with Elon. But… they are just everywhere. pic.twitter.com/FyI5i1T09S

Extremely disappointed in CZ for not keeping his word

Applying the 1.2% tax to withdrawals and deposits only discourages people from leaving Binance

They are not applying the $LUNC burn to the spot + margin trading AKA what the community asked forhttps://t.co/VuAkTYiVan pic.twitter.com/xPKSYQYGEi
