ConsenSys gives four reasons why Ethereum is not a security.
1. Historical SEC Stance on Ethereum
In 2018, William Hinman, then Director of the Division of Corporation Finance at the SEC, made a significant speech indicating that Ethereum was not considered a security.
2. CFTC’s Classification as a Commodity
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), another regulatory authority in the US, has consistently recognized Ethereum as a commodity.
3. Decentralization and Open Protocol
The essence of Ethereum’s architecture lies in its decentralization. Unlike securities, which a central entity typically governs to benefit insiders with asymmetric information, Ethereum operates on a platform where all information is openly accessible.
4. Irrelevance of the Consensus Mechanism Shift
Ethereum’s recent transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism has been cited by the SEC as a potential reason for reclassification. However, this change does not inherently affect Ethereum’s operation’s core nature or its non-security classification.

Bleeding/flat mode for a next few months, then activity increase on the market, maybe ETHETF, and bullish again.”
