Leading legal experts have stated that selling <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/immersion-cooling-transforms-chinas-crypto-mining-landscape/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mining equipment</a> does not pose regulatory issues as long as the end user conducts the mining themselves. This statement comes amid debates on whether sales of mining <a href="https://ultramining.com/hardware/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">hardware</a> could be classified as securities transactions.
The discussion intensified following the <a href="https://ultramining.com/news/en/bitcoin-mining-reshaping-landscape-amid-global-interest-surge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a>'s lawsuit against GreenUnited, accused of defrauding investors of $18 mln through the sale of "GreenBoxes" mining equipment. Lawyers emphasize that control and operation of the equipment are the critical factors.
"As long as the equipment is sold with the understanding that the user will operate it for mining, there should be no regulatory concerns," said Ishmael Green, a partner at the DiazReus law firm. Other experts concur, highlighting the importance of the agreement's nature between the seller and buyer.
