Recent developments have revealed that SEC Chair Gary Gensler previously classified Ethereum (ETH) as a security for at least a year, according to new court filings reported by Fox Business. This classification contradicts the SEC's approval of Ethereum Futures ETF in October 2023 and the existence of CME ETH futures, raising questions about the consistency of the SEC's stance on cryptocurrencies. Additionally, there were earlier statements by Gensler suggesting that ETH and Bitcoin were not securities, further complicating the SEC's position. There are calls for Gensler to testify under oath regarding these inconsistencies.
Yet the SEC approved ETH Futures ETF in October of 2023. So Gensler needs to be under oath, explaining why he approved something that he believes was a security and under investigation. Can’t have it both ways. https://t.co/R9imcV5w9P
None of this can possibly hold water in court considering CME ETH futures. There’s evidence from as early as 2019 of Gensler stating that ETH and BTC are not securities. https://t.co/X1NDGOBQb4
