Just two days after being granted a preliminary injunction in its case against Patrick McDonnell and Coin Drop Markets, the CFTC used that ruling to give notice of supplemental authority in another cryptocurrency-related case.
On March 8, 2018, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a notice of supplemental authority in its case against My Big Coin Pay, Inc., Randall Crater, and Mark Gillespie (Case No. 18-CV-10077). The notice is related to the preliminary injunction which the agency was granted in another virtual currency case, CFTC v. McDonell.[1]
Last week, ETHNews reported on the ruling[2], which supports the CFTC's 2015 finding that virtual currencies like bitcoin are commodities.
The notice of supplemental authority can be seen below:
