The November 8 SEC v. EtherDelta case stirred up the crypto community, as they will likely have to part with many of the illusions that the U.S. authorities are just “merely reflecting on the cryptocurrency phenomenon, but are in no way intent on imposing serious restrictions on it.” A recent statement by Asher Tan, the founder of an Australian cryptocurrency exchange CoinJar, that “in the U.S., blockchain projects are designed in such a way that they do not allow the American government to interfere in their activities” looks naïve in this case.
