ConsenSys proposes four key reasons to support Ethereum's non-security status
The US SEC's re-examination of whether Ethereum belongs to the securities category has caused controversy. ConsenSys proposes four reasons to support Ethereum's non-security status:
1. Historical position: The former SEC director said in 2018 that Ethereum is not a security, and this historical position provides a solid foundation for its non-security status.
2. CFTC classification: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has long regarded Ethereum as a commodity, which is consistent with the SEC's position.
3. Decentralization and openness: Ethereum's decentralized architecture makes it different from securities, all information is publicly accessible, and it does not have the characteristics of insider information asymmetry.
4. The irrelevance of the consensus mechanism transition: The recent consensus mechanism transition from PoW to PoS does not affect the core essence of Ethereum, so it should not be a reason for reclassification.
These factors together support Ethereum's non-security status in the regulatory community. In response to the SEC's re-examination, the industry and the community continue to pay attention to Ethereum's positioning.
