Speaking as a former CFTC enforcement attorney, this is solid analysis. Read @adamscochran on why the SEC's approval of ETH futures ETFs in October 2023 means the SEC officially endorsed (again) the CFTC's position that ETH is a commodity, NOT a security.👇
1/14 Some folks are confused, as to why the SEC "Eth is a security timeline" and the "Futures ETF" is bad for the SEC. Here's a quick breakdown of why it paints Gensler into a corner:

@lex_node @SGJohnsson More likely the delegation approving the formal order of investigation (subpoena docs, take testimony etc) Whether that was specific to Consensys or an "in the matter of anyone who ever sold ETH" is the $1MM question.
Over the past few days there have been a number of attacks on non-custodial crypto services. - the Samourai Wallet indictment, which we believe includes some questionable charges - the government’s response in the case against Tornado Cash’s developers, which specifically…
@BillHughesDC This is 💯. Biggest part of the brief IMO was the diminishment of 2019 guidance as authoritative. Correct as a matter of law / single case litig position. But upends 5 years of good faith reliance.

@MattCorva @Consensys @BillHughesDC @laurabrooksie1 @megaulodon The whole industry is behind you 🫡
Given the SEC's presumed (but unexplained) position seems to be that the merge turned ETH into a security, worth revisiting this paper we co-wrote with @jchervinsky and @aixiicee
Most DEX frontends aren't brokers. That's true for @coinbase, and it should prove true for @Uniswap and @Consensys. The SEC doesn't care. When told they were wrong on the law, their response was to go look for another judge... Good on @Consensys for beating them to the punch💪
