According to BlockBeats, during the SEC's inaugural crypto roundtable, Hester Peirce suggested that cryptocurrency projects should be allowed to raise funds through tradable NFTs. She indicated that NFTs might become the next area for SEC exemption statements following PoW mining. Peirce mentioned that projects like Stoner Cats and Flyfish Club, which use NFTs to raise funds and offer specific rights such as access and membership to holders, might not necessarily be classified as securities. She emphasized that providing a reference framework for NFT issuers could significantly benefit the industry's development. Previously, under Gary Gensler's leadership, the SEC had pursued several NFT projects under securities law. However, Peirce clarified that not all NFT-related projects are automatically exempt from regulation, and those with securities-like structures will still be subject to regulatory oversight.

According to Cointelegraph, Watch Skins Corporation has filed a lawsuit against luxury fashion conglomerate LVMH, accusing it of patent infringement related to non-fungible token (NFT) display technology. The complaint, submitted to a Texas federal court on March 10, alleges that LVMH misappropriated Watch Skins' innovative system, which enables the display of verified NFT artworks on smartwatches. Watch Skins claims to hold multiple patents for this technology.The lawsuit specifically targets the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 smartwatch, among other products from LVMH's brands, asserting that these devices unlawfully utilized NFT display technology based on three patents owned by Watch Skins. LVMH, a multinational holding company, owns numerous luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, TAG Heuer, Tiffany, Christian Dior, Hennessy, and Moët & Chandon.Watch Skins detailed its patents, stating that the first covers a system verifying NFT ownership before allowing display on a watch face. The second patent involves a system where an NFT must be verified through a blockchain wallet before being shown on a smartwatch. The third patent focuses on retrieving and displaying customized watch faces based on NFT ownership. The company accused TAG Heuer of encouraging patent infringement by providing instructions for using its NFT display features.The complaint elaborated that the smartwatch connects to a user's crypto wallet to ensure the authenticity of displayed works, allowing NFTs to be shown if owned by the user's wallet. Watch Skins is seeking a jury trial, compensation for lost profits and royalties, and a court order to prevent LVMH from further using the patented technology.Watch Skins had previously announced the launch of the world's first blockchain NFT watch face marketplace at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in 2020. The mobile app offers consumers the ability to purchase authentic, licensed smartwatch faces from their favorite brands. Cointelegraph has reached out to LVMH for comment on the lawsuit.

According to BlockBeats, on March 4, Yuga Labs announced on its X account that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its investigation into the company, which lasted over three years.

According to Cointelegraph, DraftKings has agreed to a $10 million settlement to resolve a securities class-action lawsuit involving its non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The lawsuit was initiated by buyers of NFTs sold through DraftKings' now-closed marketplace. On February 28, 2025, Judge Denise Casper of the Boston federal court granted a preliminary settlement motion filed by lead plaintiff Justin Dufoe and the class on February 26. The settlement will distribute $10 million among the class action members. Dufoe plans to request a $50,000 award for his involvement in the case, along with attorneys' fees amounting to one-third of the settlement fund plus litigation expenses. The lawsuit, which began in March 2023, alleged that the NFTs sold by DraftKings were investment contracts under U.S. law and were therefore unregistered securities. The settlement aims to avoid prolonged and costly litigation. DraftKings co-founders Jason Robins and Matt Kalish, along with Jason Park, the company's chief transformation officer, were also named in the suit. Dufoe claimed to have incurred a $14,000 loss by selling DraftKings NFTs at a loss and holding devalued NFTs. DraftKings attempted to dismiss the lawsuit in September 2023, arguing that the NFTs did not qualify as investment contracts under the Howey test. However, Judge Casper ruled in July that the NFTs could be considered securities. Following the closure of its NFT marketplace, DraftKings began settlement discussions with the class group, which culminated in an all-day mediation involving extensive negotiations before a neutral third party. The class group described the settlement as an "outstanding result" that would prevent further costly litigation. They estimated "realistic and supportable damages" to range from $18 million to $58 million, with the settlement representing 26% of the midpoint of potentially recoverable damages, which they considered an excellent recovery under the circumstances. This is the second NFT-related lawsuit DraftKings has settled in 2025. In January, the company reached a settlement with the National Football League Players Association over a lawsuit accusing DraftKings of not compensating for the use of NFL player likenesses in NFTs. The details of that settlement remain undisclosed, but the suit was stayed until March 28 to finalize the agreement.

According to PANews, two U.S. Congress members are advocating for legal protections for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within a comprehensive legislative proposal aimed at establishing a more coherent regulatory framework for digital assets. South Carolina Republican Representative William Timmons is working to incorporate the 'New Frontiers in Technology Act' (NFT Act) into a revised version of the '21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act' (FIT21), which passed the House last year but has yet to receive Senate approval.The NFT Act, introduced by Timmons and New York Democrat Representative Ritchie Torres in December, seeks to classify certain NFTs as non-securities. This classification would cover artworks, video game assets, memberships, and other consumer areas outlined in the bill's text. Additionally, the legislation would direct the U.S. Comptroller General to study whether NFTs could serve as representations of documents, identification, or even government records in commercial settings.Previously, under the leadership of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, NFTs largely existed in a legal grey area. Currently, within the SEC, Republican commissioners argue that many enforcement actions against NFT projects authorized under Gensler's tenure were unjustified.
