🪙 SEC suits drive the US crypto exchanges offshore

The SEC's simultaneous suits against Binance and Coinbase are not a negotiation, they are a shutdown: with no registration pathway and no political appetite for clarifying legislation, the surviving exchanges preserve enterprise value by redomiciling outside the US and IP-gating American users. The listed US-regulated exchange therefore loses its home market rather than being blessed as the compliant winner.

⚖ Why this verdict

fully deterministic — evaluate.py replays this from daily closes; nothing below is editable or hand-set

  1. Window: 2023-06-10 → 2024-06-10 — first mention + 12-month horizon, then the window locks.
  2. The call: ▼ SHORT COIN (primary play). COIN rose 394.1% over the window → direction-adjusted R = -394.1% (the call lost money).
  3. Benchmark: holding SPY over the same window returned +25.3%α = -394.1 − (+25.3) = -419.4% — what this call made or lost against just owning the index. This is the number the verdict uses.
    Stock-selection read: -368.8% — did COIN move the predicted way relative to the market. The two only differ on a SHORT: this call was right about direction relative to the index but still cost money versus holding it.
  4. Rule fired:
    · HIT — R ≥ +10% AND α ≥ +5
    · PARTIAL — R ≥ +5% OR α ≥ 0
    ▶ MISS — everything else
  5. Credit: supporters of a MISS earn 0 each, opposers the inverse — this feeds the scoreboard weights. supported: Chamath, Jason | opposed: Sacks

“I unfortunately think that the SEC has by and large put the entire sector into mate. And so I think that what Jason said is largely right, which is that it's going to force these companies to preserve enterprise value to leave the United States and to jurisdictionally operate from a different place and to basically IP block and IP gate US residents from using their products and services.”

“The government led by Gensler is in a full assault on crypto. And the goal is basically to either destroy it in the US or drive it offshore.”

“but I would like the United States to be the place where we figured this out, not driving it overseas. So I'm happy that the judge found in favor of Ripple”
