Golden Finance reports that the chairman of the SEC, Paul Atkins, stated that the agency will soon consider establishing a formal “Token Classification” based on the long-established Howey investment contract securities analysis.
The Howey Test originated from a case in 1946, when people purchased an orange grove in Florida, hoping to profit from the labor of the growers. It defines a security as an investment of money in a common enterprise, with the expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others.
