Hester Peirce of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a dissenting opinion on the regulator’s lawsuit against blockchain firm LBRY.
In an Oct. 27 statement, Peirce described feeling “unsettled” following the SEC’s enforcement action against LBRY in March 2021. In November 2022, a judge ruled in favor of the SEC, stating that the firm’s LBC token was a security. Though LBRY appealed the decision, the company announced in October that it planned to wind down, citing millions of dollars in debt due to legal costs.
