The downward trend within the NFTs space comes as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sets its sights on NFTs. 


On Aug. 28, Devin Finzer, CEO of NFT marketplace OpenSea, reported that the company received a Wells notice from the securities regulator. Finzer claimed that the SEC alleged tint NFTs on the platform may qualify as unregistered securities. 


On Sept. 16, the SEC fined the NFT-themed restaurant Flyfish Club $750,000 for selling NFTs. SEC commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda criticized the enforcement action from their agency, arguing that the NFTs sold by Flyfish should not trigger securities laws. The commissioners said these NFTs were only “a different way to sell memberships.”


Despite the SEC’s NFT crackdown, Luca Schnetzler, the CEO of the popular NFT collection Pudgy Penguins, dismissed the regulator’s actions as “nonsense.” 


In a previous interview with Cointelegraph, Schnetzler described the SEC’s actions as a “nothing burger,” arguing that going after OpenSea means the agency must also go against larger organizations that dived into NFTs. This includes Sotheby’s, Nike and Pokemon.
