“As a result of Protocol’s decentralized nature, the identities of the Rip-off Token issuers are principally unknown and unknowable, leaving Plaintiffs with an identifiable harm however no identifiable defendant. Undaunted, they now sue the Uniswap Defendants and the VC Defendants, hoping that this Courtroom may overlook the truth that the present state of cryptocurrency regulation leaves them with out recourse, at the very least as to the particular claims alleged on this go well with.
As set forth within the the rest of this Opinion, the Courtroom dismisses their grievance in full.”

“I’m not saying that the fee needs to be omniscient on the time it’s evaluating a registration assertion and that it ought to know all issues. However I’d have thought the fee was doing diligence into what Coinbase was doing, and someway I believed that it could say, you understand, you actually shouldn’t do that. That is violative of the securities legal guidelines, or we’re type of in some fascinating unchartered territory right here with respect as to whether the property in your platform are securities, so be forewarned that possibly sometime there could possibly be an issue.”
