According to CNBC, SEC Paul Atkins President said the committee treats ethereum like Bitcoin. He has made it clear that the laws of securities will not apply to the digital currency. He also pointed out that this opinion is still informal until the official rules are completed.
As he put it, “similar to Bitcoin, SEC was informally mentioned more than officially that the ether is not safe.” This statement gave many relief investors and led the new purchase by major companies.

Agencies seeking clarity
Based on the reports, SEC’s Crypto’s CRYPTO business group held multiple round conversations this year. Industry leaders joined to discuss federal laws that apply to encryption.
Under Gary Ginsler, the agency has searched the distinctive symbols for possible securities mode, but it did not provide a direct answer to the ether. Now Akins says Ethereum is seen as a commodity.
The commodity futures trading committee said for a long time that Al -Atheer and Bitcoin are goods. However, uncertainty revolves around whether exciting rewards are considered income or distinctive symbols.

Corporation for ETH UP
Large companies accumulate on their public budgets. BTCS, Sharplink Gaming and Gamesquare lead the package. They have added the value of millions of dollars from ETH in recent weeks.
One startup, ATHER MACHINE, plans for the first public time supported by $ 1.6 billion in Ethereum Capital. This number shows the confidence of some cabinet teams.
ETF flows and prices follow -up
The money that focuses on ETH has broken daily flow records. Based on ETF data, new money in ETHEREUM products has reached the highest level of all time this month.
The rules of exhaustion are still forgetting
The ducts around these vehicles paid ETHER to $ 3,639. More than 24 % have risen in the past seven days. Traders say they see more growing space if the organizers hold on to Atkins.
Ethereum Staking applications remain in wait. Blackrock submitted her suggestion months ago, but SEC has delayed any green light.
Some companies are concerned that payments payments can be considered securities or income under tax laws. CFTC Rostin Behnam’s head supported the Atheer view as a commodity. But without clear SEC directions, players in Defi and Stokeing are facing unanswered questions.
