The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently announced charges against and settlements with two NFT issuers for allegedly conducting illegally unregistered offers and sales of securities in the form of “non-fungible tokens,” or NFTs, in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). One issuer is a California-based media and entertainment company, Impact Theory, LLC, while the other, Stoner Cats 2, LLC, is the producer of an adult animated television show about cats that become sentient after being exposed to their owner’s medical marijuana. These are the SEC’s first two public actions against NFT issuers under the federal securities laws.
