In the U.S., the Howey Test is used to determine if something is a security. Under the Howey Test, it is a security if:

  • It is an investment of money or monetary value
  • There is an expectation of profits from the investment
  • The investment of money is in a common enterprise
  • Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party

Nothing in there about being tradeable.

I don't know why the U.S. SEC hasn't gone after them. It guess its hands are full dealing with ICOs.

Cloud mining is a security because it checks every box in the Howey Test. It is also a scam (or at best, a money loser).
