The United States is going to take action to regulate ETH. This time, the United States wants to define ETH as a security. Is it bullish or bearish?
What will it mean if the United States really defines ETH as a security?
Ethereum infrastructure development company ConsenSys posted on social media, "If the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) successfully defines Ethereum as a security, then companies and developers will see years of work go to waste and billions of dollars of economic value destroyed, which may lead to large-scale unemployment of American workers."
In addition, it stated in the article "ConsenSys Sues the U.S. SEC to Protect the U.S. Ethereum Community", "Ethereum is a global computing platform, not an investment plan. Ether is not a security, but a commodity, which has been confirmed many times by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Applications that allow people to trade using Ethereum are not securities brokers and therefore cannot be regulated by the U.S. SEC. The illegal expansion of the U.S. SEC's power threatens the United States' position as the leader of the next generation of the Internet."
ConsenSys counterattacks the SEC one by one, why Ethereum is not a security
Ethereum has been scrutinized by the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), which hinted that it will list Ethereum as a security.
The move has sparked controversy, especially since the SEC had made it clear in 2018 that Ethereum did not meet the standards of a security.
In light of these events, blockchain software company ConsenSys has strongly opposed the SEC's decision to classify Ethereum as a security. Here are four reasons:
First, the SEC's historical stance on Ethereum
In 2018, William Hinman, then director of the SEC's Division of Finance, gave an important speech in which he made it clear that Ethereum was not considered a security.
Second, the CFTC's classification of commodities
The CFTC, another US regulator, has always recognized that Ethereum is a commodity. Recently, in a civil enforcement action involving Crypto asset exchange KuCoin, the CFTC explicitly classified Ethereum as a commodity.
Third, it is decentralization and open protocols
The essence of Ethereum's architecture is decentralization. Unlike securities, Ethereum runs on a platform and all information is public.
Fourth, it is irrelevant to the shift in consensus mechanisms
Ethereum's recent transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms was listed by the SEC as a potential reason for reclassifying Ethereum.
In short, the SEC's reclassification of Ethereum as a security does not stand up to scrutiny. Especially considering the SEC's historical regulatory approach, the classification of other regulators, the decentralized nature of Ethereum, and the irrelevance of its internal consensus mechanism to securities laws.
What should we do? Is it bullish or bearish?
If this news lands, it will be a long-lasting big bearish.
Reasons for bearishness:
Strengthening regulation: If ETH is defined as a security, it will be subject to stricter securities regulations. This may restrict the free trading of ETH, increase compliance costs and transaction complexity.
Increased market uncertainty: Such decisions may trigger market concerns about future regulatory policies, leading to a decline in investor confidence and possible capital outflows.
Hindered innovation: Strict securities regulation may hinder the pace of innovation and development in the Ethereum ecosystem, as developers may need to spend more time and resources to meet regulatory requirements.
Trading restrictions: After being identified as a security, ETH may only be traded on specific, regulated trading platforms, which will limit its market liquidity and accessibility.
In short, the compliance of the currency circle will definitely come. For the currency circle, don't worry about gains and losses and create anxiety.

If Evergrande had issued tokens for self-rescue, could it have overcome the difficulties (not considering policy reasons)? Trump is estimated to have made and lost 50 billion US dollars by issuing tokens, while Musk earned hundreds of billions of US dollars! Is it possible for Evergrande to cover 2 trillion RMB in debt by issuing tokens? Besides issuing tokens, there are also a massive number of properties, all sold one-to-one through the metaverse!

Promoting projects, do not add me if you are involved in Ponzi schemes! I don't touch these things...! Leaders who profit from Ponzi schemes, every cent you earn is tainted with blood. Every penny you make is exchanged for countless lives lost. That is dirty money... I only profit from the capital market games; although the capital market can also be brutal, the game of capital does not rely on deceit and trickery. It is a game of mindset, skills, capital, etc. The money earned is clean; when you lose money, it is due to lack of skill, and you lose willingly and acceptingly!
Astral Exchange, online and protecting rights, something big is really coming, and it's a huge deal... After all this time with stolen coins, it's really a disaster! To simply understand Astral Exchange, during this period, the Astral Exchange in the cryptocurrency and trading circles has really caught a lot of attention. First, they flaunt money, going to Cambodia where Yu Lingxiong gave out ten thousand US dollars on the spot, and then using so-called various team leaders for crazy promotion. Recently, almost half of the social circles of people in the cryptocurrency world are about the so-called Astral Exchange…! I advise everyone, there is no free lunch in challenges… Everyone is making money in this business, but who is really making money off whom?

Binance's Delisting Vote: Prioritizing the Delisting of Ethereum? A 'Draft Elimination Match' in the Cryptocurrency Market
On March 21, 2025, Binance announced the launch of the 'voting delisting' mechanism, allowing community users to vote on projects with monitoring tags to decide whether to delist them. It's like a 'draft elimination match' in the cryptocurrency world, except the judges are ordinary users holding 0.01 BNB, while the eliminated contestants are those poorly performing coins. Binance's Delisting Vote: The 'Talent Show' of the Cryptocurrency World Binance's delisting voting mechanism is like a 'Cryptocurrency Talent Show', where community users act as judges and coins are the contestants. Judges hold 'voting rights' of 0.01 BNB to decide which coins should 'pack up and go home'. This mechanism reflects two major trends in the market:

In January and February this year, Binance liquidated most of its own coins and exchanged them for USDC. 100% means that Binance's own part is 0% More than 100% means that Binance has some positions, It can be seen that Binance liquidated ETH, BTC and almost all altcoins in January It turned out that Binance crashed the market
Theoretically, shorting can earn at most 1 times, but may lose infinitely;
longing can lose at most 1 times, but may earn infinitely.
Although some people refute that since all altcoins in the currency circle have strong gravity (team shipments), short selling is not as bad as imagined.
However, I still rarely short (except for hedging), and the deeper reason is:
Shorting will make people distorted and begin to hate this industry (seeing the dark side will deepen themselves)
Once hatred is over (it will definitely happen), lose faith, and one day you will definitely start to try to short the pie, but the consequences, you know, are terrible.
