  When determining the status of a cryptocurrency, the Howey Test takes into account several factors. These factors include: 1) the investment of money or assets, 2) the expectation of profits, 3) the presence of a common enterprise, and 4) the reliance on the efforts of others. If these factors are present, the cryptocurrency may be deemed a security. However, it's worth noting that the application of the Howey Test can be complex, and legal advice should be sought to fully understand its implications for a specific cryptocurrency.
