The SEC has no compelling reason to reject applications to launch an Ethereum ETF, says Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal.
According to the Coinbase lawyer, the SEC has treated Ethereum (ETH) as a commodity, not a security, for many years. The CFTC and federal courts have unanimously confirmed that the asset has this status.
Coinbase‘s lawyer referred to statements made by the agency’s director of corporate finance, William Hinman, in 2018. He also recalled SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s speech in front of Congress before he was appointed head of the commission. In his remarks, Gensler took a similar position.
