The ruling is not as significant as the headlines make it sound. The ruling only applies to this case. It does not mean that other cryptos are not securites 

Yes, you're just repeting the tweet of a litigation lawayer inside the thread. As I already mentioned other lawyers could have a different opinion. That's reason why our friend opened this new thread...but...

Can this judgment create jurisprudence?

It's actually a federal judge making the statement, so you can decide by yourself...personally I would say yes.

The interesting question is imo another one: Why the rulers of this space tried to hide this new so long as possible?

Sure there isn't more to this now? Does the cftc usually comment like this on an individual case and make it sound like a broad ruling? 

Imo there is more weight to this than just for this one case. It sets presedence and seems like a pretty significant announcement by the CFTC

I hope just as much as anyone that it is that simple but from what im reading from people who seem to be impartial attorneys, this is not the case.

This ruling means that "My Big Coin" can be prosecuted by the CTFC, but it won't stop a different judge from allowing the SEC to prosecute some other crypto for being an unregistered security. It will be interesting when xyz crypto is getting sued by the SEC and tries to use the argument that they are a commodity based on the my big coin ruling.

FinCEN ruled that XRP was a currency several years ago when they settled a suit against Ripple, it very specifically said in that settlement that it does not bind any other government agency.

Any US government agency will try to call crytpo something different to benefit themselves and the US law is so ambiguous for cryptos at the moment that for now judges take them on a case by case basis.

Sorry to cause a schism in the echo chamber but just throwing the info out there.

I agree, but the ruling did note the "broad approach" taken to engage virtual currencies as commodities to avoid a ruling for every single asset.  This is the way these things proceed as there is not one single definition-ruling body from the outset.  The courts now have to reckon with the CFTC definition.

@bachmanity

Well, let me say to you you're not causing anything you wish to cause. I'm not a US fiscal subject and the SEC issue doesn't touch me at all, meaning I think xrp will moon without any help from US based financial institutions. I just knew that some people here were a bit down for the pseudo SEC issue and I wanted to show them there's a ray of light. If you want to turn off this ray of light for them...pls help yourself!!!

So now I wonder what the SEC thinks about this and will they even coordinate with their CTFC counterparts. We’ve still got to have clear guidelines in place. What happens when this dude appeals and another judge rules the exact opposite? Or the judge on another case with biases says “screw this” to the precedent? The judicial branch shouldn’t be the ones deciding how this stuff will work. Why couldn’t we just co-opt one of the other countries’ crypto guidelines that are clear, business-friendly, and make sense?

Guys, we're here discussing a topic which is old and came out for the first time on 27th sept...ask yourself the reason why!

I just asked myself and all I could think of was that it is because it was posted again... but it was posted again because the cftc tweeted just today: "announces that federal court finds that virtual currencies are commodities"....  so what do you think is the reason why?
