As a long-term crypto investor with a deep interest in Ethereum, I’m thrilled to see the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) close its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. The relief expressed by Consensys is palpable, and their statement that ETH tokens will not be considered securities transactions is a major victory for the Ethereum community.
The SEC’s Enforcement Unit concluded its probe into Ethereum 2.0, bringing about a significant triumph for Consensys Software Inc. to declare.
In response to X, ConsenSys expressed gratitude towards the SEC’s verdict, expressing “The SEC will not initiate proceedings claiming that transactions involving the sale of ETH were securities deals.”
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its probe into Ethereum 2.0, bringing positive news for Ethereum’s community and stakeholders.

The SEC’s move is in response to Consensys’ letter dated June 7, which requested clarification following the potential approval of Ether (ETH) spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) in May. This preliminary approval indicated that the SEC considers ETH tokens as commodities instead of securities based on Consensys’ interpretation.
In April 2023, ConsenSys filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), claiming that the SEC’s Enforcement Division Head, Gurbir Grewal, began investigating Ethereum 2.0 in March of the same year to scrutinize certain ether transactions.
While SEC Chair Gary Gensler hasn’t explicitly declared ether’s status as a security, CFTC Chair Rostin Behnam has categorized ether as a commodity instead.
Consensys maintains its stance, insisting that the elements of their lawsuit, including MetaMask Swaps and Staking user interfaces, do not infringe upon securities regulations.
As a seasoned analyst of the blockchain landscape, I’m thrilled to observe this latest turn of events in Ethereum’s favor. This positive development signifies a promising regulatory climate for decentralized technologies like Ethereum. It’s an encouraging indication that regulators are becoming more open-minded towards the potential benefits these technologies bring to the table.
