>Gary Gensler, a former CFTC chairman, said in a speech last week that “there is a strong case that one or both of ETH and [Ripple’s] XRP are noncompliant securities,” using the shorthand for the virtual currencies.

>A working group of regulators including senior SEC and CFTC officials are scheduled to discuss the matter on May 7, one of the people said.

May 7, the whales will make their play off this news.

>The foundation raised over 31,000 bitcoin, or about $18.3 million, in July 2014 when it sold about 60 million ether. Because the foundation raised the money to build the Ethereum platform, and investors probably bought ether speculating the launch would make the asset rise in value, the deal resembled a securities sale, the people said.

>could this and could that

They could also be NOT regulated as securities and consequently fly through the roof

hey, OP
What does "regulated as securities" means?

And if they are regulated as securities, what does this mean for us amerimutts?

Of course they are securities. Literally every single ICO that sells to americans is a security.

Money will flow into BCH where you can run smart contracts after the may update, and is NOT a security.

>high level fud
Nice, just went all in on xrp

nice cherry picked old bullshit news - this shit is old and has already been countered and criticized from several angles

No shit, remember early Feb? The whole market tanked prior to the SEC & CFTC's Chairmen's Senate hearing. That was when BTC tanked to $5,800.

The same thing can play out on May 7th. I'm not saying it's the end of crypto, but manipulators will play with this news likes they did in February.

I'm telling you guys to take profits and wait for a big dip. Bag holders and their short memories...
