The non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea is facing a securities class action lawsuit in a federal district court in Miami. The lawsuit alleges that OpenSea misled investors by claiming that the NFTs sold on its website did not constitute securities, despite indications from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the contrary.
The plaintiffs, Anthony Shnayderman and Itai Bronshtein, represented by Adam Moskowitz of the Moskowitz Law Firm and David Boies of Boies Schiller Flexner, filed the suit on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated. Moskowitz has emphasized the broader implications of this case, stating, “We’re not just suing OpenSea in a class action like other lawsuits that will follow ours; we want to use this litigation to help create the framework of NFTs moving forward.”
