\n

\u201cThe application of the securities laws to token projects Is not clear, despite the Commission\u2019s continuous protestations to the contrary. There is no path for a company like LBRY to come in and register its functional token offering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peirce added,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe time and resources we expended on this case could have been devoted to building a workable regulatory framework that companies like LBRY could have followed. Then the market could have decided LBRY\u2019s fate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

On October 20, LBRY.inc announced<\/a> it was winding down.<\/p>\n

The crypto community responded to the comments. Ripple Chief Legal Office Stuart Alderoty, said,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThank you, Commissioner. When you see injustices like this continue in non-fraud cases (while consumers wait for recourse from actual frauds) perhaps it\u2019s time to let ordinary rules of protocol go by the wayside and speak out louder and sooner? Perhaps even with an amicus brief?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CryptoLaw founder and Amicus Curiae attorney John E. Deaton said<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAny Commissioner who voted to sue LBRY should be ashamed of themselves. But not just the Commissioners. SEC enforcement lawyers who threatened to \u2018bankrupt\u2019 LBRY and Jeremy Kauffman during the investigative stage, by running up defense costs and legal fees, are an absolute disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Deaton added,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy client Naomi Brockwell NEVER purchased or sold a single LBC token. She didn\u2019t even meet the FIRST Howey factor, let alone the other factors, yet the SEC refused to provide No Action letters, or guidance, making it clear that secondary market users were not subject to SEC jurisdiction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Former CEO of LBRY.com Jeremy Kauffman, responded to Hester Peirce, saying<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy impression is Peirce is doing her best under circumstances and political challenges I can\u2019t fathom. I\u2019ve attacked her before but only because she\u2019s the only one human to care enough. This is a thoughtful note that I\u2019m appreciative of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Elliptic Puts the Record Straight on Hamas and Crypto Crowdfunding<\/h2>\n

On October 25, Elliptic issued a statement<\/a>, setting the record straight on crypto crowdfunding by Hamas. Elliptic said,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOver the past two weeks, politicians and journalists have portrayed public crypto fundraising as a significant source of funds for Hamas and other terrorist groups, but the data simply does no support this. No public crypto fundraising campaign by a terrorist group has received significant levels of donations, relative to other funding sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Elliptic referenced the Wall Street Journal article<\/a> titled Hamas Militants Behind Israel Attack Raised Millions in Crypto. The bipartisan letter<\/a>, calling on the US Administration to deal with firms supporting the use of crypto for illicit means also got a mention.<\/p>\n

Elliptic concluded,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTerrorist groups do make use of cryptoassets for public fundraising, but the amounts involved are tiny relative to other funding sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin Analysis<\/h2>\n

BTC<\/a> held above the 50-day and 200-day EMAs<\/a>, affirming bullish price signals.<\/p>\n

A BTC move through the $35,265 resistance level would give the bulls a run at the $36,400 resistance level. SEC approval of BTC-spot ETF applications would support a return to $35,000.<\/p>\n

A BTC return to $33,500 would support a move to the $32,436 support level.<\/p>\n

The 14-Daily RSI reading of 80.86 shows BTC in overbought territory.<\/p>\n
