The long process of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple Labs may be near the end. According to information released on Thursday (13) on X by Fox Business journalist Charles Gasparino, one of the central issues still under discussion is whether XRP can be classified as a commodity and not as a security and that is why the Ethereum case is essential for the final decision.

“ETH was clearly issued as an ICO; its characteristics in the issue were no different from XRP - both used to finance the construction of a platform. However, Ripple was sued and Ethereum was not, because ETH had become a commodity,” Gasparino said.
