The SEC's expansion of the "dealer" definition defies reason and demonstrates yet another transparent attempt to weaponize securities laws to curtail activity the commission doesn't like, rather than an honest effort to adapt rules to mitigate new emerging risks.

Two crypto industry groups sued the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday to challenge a new rule that broadened the definition of what the regulator considers to be a “dealer” of securities on.wsj.com/3xPdvMG
In Gensler's first three years as SEC chair, the agency has been sued for abusing its rulemaking powers more times than the SEC was sued in the prior 10+ years (spanning the tenure of three long-serving chairs combined).
Today, BA and CFAT filed a suit against the SEC asking the court to strike down their arbitrarily applied and unclear Dealer Rule expansion. This rule stifles innovation, harms the burgeoning digital asset industry, and emboldens the SEC to lead by unwritten rules and guidance.…
