HODL

2024

&nbsp;Hodl Law is currently appealing the dismissal of its suit with the SEC. The matter revolves around the question of whether Ethereum, the world’s second-largest blockchain platform and its native currency named Ether, ought to be regarded as secure. 
According to HODL Law, the SEC’s failure to provide unambiguous regulations on cryptocurrencies is not only affecting businesses but also poses a great threat to the growth of the industry. They seek to obtain the court orders that call for the claim that ether transactions are not within the purview of securities laws.

The SEC first dismissed the original lawsuit against Hodl Law because it had no actual proof of any harm done. According to the SEC, the pleas of Hodl Law of uncertainties regarding future enforcement is nothing but speculation, and so a lawsuit is unwarranted. 
The Court of appeal of 9th circuit will be presiding over this case on July 18, 2024. This case means a lot in the whole digital currency field as the SEC launched a wave of disputes against other crypto firms recently.
