Consensys’ Post

View profile for Bill Hughes

Senior Counsel & Director of Global Regulatory Matters at Consensys

Consensys and the SEC have agreed in principle that the securities enforcement case concerning MetaMask should be dismissed. Subject to the approval of the Commission, the SEC will file a stipulation with the court that effectively closes the case. We were honored to fight for blockchain devs throughout the ecosystem. We even sued the SEC when it became clear that Ethereum was the next target, a lawsuit that actually caused the SEC to drop their Ethereum investigation. Each legal victory is an important step along the path to a better system. We appreciate the SEC’s new leadership and the pro-innovation, pro-investor path they are taking. We will remain deeply engaged with public and private policymakers going forward. And big thank you to our outside litigation counsel at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, quarterbacked by Kevin Schwartz. Exceptional representation. 2025 is going to be the best year yet for Ethereum and Consensys.
