Opensea dry: “We are not exchanges”

This week, Openesseea request The American Securities and Exchange (SEC) commission officially declares that NFTs are not “exchanges or brokers” under the American securities law.

In a letter to the SEC commissioner, Hester Peirce, Opensea argued that NFT generally have only one seller per token – so platforms like their own do not work like traditional scholarships or brokers.

They pointed out that all NFT transactions occur on the channel via smart contracts, Opensea simply acting as a discovery tool – not an intermediary, a guard or a consulting advice.

To avoid future confusion, Opensea asks the dry to issue clear advice, such as a bulletin or a release of interpretation, to confirm that the NFT markets are not covered by the exchange rules.

This thrust follows the Opensea brush with a Wells opinion last year, although the SEC abandoned the investigation in early 2025 after President Donald Trump told the agency to suspend the application of the crypto.
