NBA Topshot NFTs counted as securities
A US court ruled that Top Shot NFTs are securities because they meet the requirements to be considered an investment contract. This was because the value of the moments depended on the management efforts of Dapper Labs, which was responsible for creating and managing the NBA Ball shot. This meant that buyers had to rely on Dapper Labs’ organizational efforts to create and sustain the value of these NFTs, commonly referred to as “Moments.”
The lawsuit was filed in the District Court for the Northern District of California, as investors argued that NFTs should be considered securities in accordance with US federal legislation. In addition, Dapper Labs had broken securities regulations by neglecting to report NFTs to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This altcoin will use Chainlink’s proof-of-reserves technology
TrueUSD (TUSD) has announced the integration of Chainlink’s proof of reserve technology to increase transparency and reliability in the stablecoin issuance process. Thus, using Chainlink’s decentralized Oracle Network, TUSD becomes the first programmatically controllable stablecoin with real-time on-chain verification of off-chain reserves. This means a significant move towards decentralization, transparency and independent verification.
Frax community votes for algorithmic stablecoin
Frax Finance, the decentralized stablecoin protocol, has undergone a major change with the approval of the community FIP-188 proposal. The voted proposal will gradually remove algorithmic support for the protocol’s stablecoin and will instead issue a fully collateralized stablecoin with a 100 percent collateral ratio (CR). This move aims to improve the long-term health and growth of the protocol. Frax Finance was launched in December 2020 and has evolved significantly since then.
The original protocol had a variable margin rate for Frax that adjusted to market demand, allowing the market to dictate how much margin is required for each FRAX. However, recently, cryptocoin.comAs we have reported, trust in algorithmic stablecoins has waned with the collapse of the UST.
