Which Altcoins Are Securities?
The gentes are all security He said it was. Fortunately, we got rid of it when Trump took office. The new SEC Chairman is cryptocurrency-friendly and thinks that a significant part of the market is not the SEC’s responsibility. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in his just-concluded statements that network tokens and meme coins are not securities.

He underlined that only assets subject to this mechanism with clear management promises can be described as securities. Atkins also does not consider cryptoassets that provide a practical function, such as tickets, memberships or badges, to be securities.
“I anticipate that in the coming months, the Commission will consider creating a token taxonomy based on the long-standing Howey investment contract security analysis, recognizing that there are limiting principles in our laws and regulations.”
Paul also said;
“Most crypto tokens traded today are not securities themselves. Of course, it is possible that a particular token was sold as part of an investment contract in a securities offering. This is not a radical statement; it is a direct application of securities laws. Laws that define securities list familiar instruments such as stocks, notes, bonds, etc., and then add a more open-ended category: “investment contract.” This last term describes the relationship between the parties; it is not a removable label attached to an object.”
Investment contracts can be fulfilled and expire. They do not last forever because the object of the investment contract continues to be traded on the blockchain.
However, over the last few years, many have argued that if a token is subject to an investment contract, it will be a security in perpetuity. This erroneous view includes the assumption that every subsequent transaction, anytime and anywhere, is a securities transaction. “I have difficulty reconciling this view with the statutory text, Supreme Court precedent, or common sense.”
