“Today, we raise our shield to protect a foundational part of the crypto community. Alongside OpenSea and A16z Crypto, we are launching a $6 million legal defense fund for NFT creators. Creatives can now stand up to misguided actions from the SEC.”

On its officialwebsite, Stand With Crypto says that the fund aims to legally defend creators against “public policy failures and bad-faith attacks on those looking to build on blockchain technology.”

“This partnership is about defending artists and creators who seek to harness the power of blockchain technology while galvanizing the crypto community to advocate for our collective rights…

Artists, creators, and builders who have been contacted by the SEC or who are concerned about potential litigation due to their use of blockchain technology can apply for representation.”

Coinbaselaunched the Stand With Crypto advocacy group in August 2023 to help the digital assets industry focus on directly engaging with lawmakers and the legislative process to ensure the future of crypto in the US.

Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys
In this image, a giant sphinx spoons itself in erotic play within an aquatic styled environment littered by various denizens. These creatures include symbols and archetypes both current and nostalgic–each inhabiting a rootedness within mass cultural adolescence. Among the roster are Servbots, video game inspired mushrooms, a Pacman-like creature, a distant sea faring rubber duck, creatures sporting the symbols reminiscent of popular anime, and a Pokemon-like rabbit (a novel incarnation of Ganesha indicated by the Shiva trident on its nose). In addition, a few sea creatures partly inspired by sea monsters of western antiquity conglomerate along the mid left side of the composition. The Sphinx itself is an amalgam of aquatic, fetishist, ancient Egyptian, and 80’s style adornments, both living, as in a clown fish, or material, such as a cassette tape. Nautically colored antennae receive somatic signals from the atmosphere, perhaps from the 8 Ball moon or giant ringed planet beyond.
