JPMorgan To Bet On Ethereum?

According to reports, JPMorgan in a research report suggested that the US SEC executives admitted the fact that tokens on a sufficiently decentralized network cannot be landed under the “Security” category originates a regulatory gap.

It added that the speech delivered by then SEC Director Hinman noted that there is an other category. However, the official stated that Ethereum is not a security there is no controlling group but still, there may be a call for regulation to shield purchasers.

Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, a JPMorgan analyst stated that these revelations could suggest that why the authority has not taken action against Ethereum while going after other crypto assets.

Crypto expert, Mr. Huber mentioned that the JPMorgan report didn’t address the context given in the drafts and he is just repeating the speech itself. Meanwhile, the thing which is needed to be noted from the drafts is that the executive had no legal authority to make new rules. However, the analyst is noting how Hinman describes the switch from ETH to a commodity in the speech.

He added that ETH supporting people see that several people worked on Hinman’s speech and believe that this can prove the legitimacy of the speech.
