There are a few concurrent stories right now that hinge on this. There is a rising speculation that the SEC could start calling some cryptos securities and if they do that, it creates some rather sticky legal issues for the founders and holders. Here’s a post that explains why this is such an issue. And this is a big case that may be the decision maker from a legal standpoint in the US.
