The SEC's stance on Ethereum (ETH) as a security has been a topic of discussion, with various officials stating that ETH is not considered a security due to its decentralization. Former SEC Director William Hinman and current SEC Chair Gary Gensler have both emphasized the decentralization of ETH as a key factor in not regulating it as a security.
