 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The commission’s concerns were evident. Despite unclear prospects of use or profit, the enthusiasm with which people invested in the NFTs was alarming. However, the dissenting commissioners argued that the legitimate concerns don’t necessarily grant the US </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">SEC</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> jurisdiction.

 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moreover, for registration violation cases, the usual remedy is an offer of rescission. Impact Theory had already proposed repurchase programs, compensating their purchasers to $7.7 million in Ether.</span></p> 
 <h2 id="b-controversy-around-impact-theory-nft-b"><b>Controversy Around Impact Theory NFT</b></h2> 
 <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Impact Theory raised eyebrows with a $30 million NFT sale, boosting its offerings with bold claims that the value of these tokens would see a rise. Notably, a certain enthusiasm resonated amongst the purchasers.&nbsp;</span></p>
