<p>Ethereum, the second most-valued cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has ramifications that have gone beyond the boundaries. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dropped its inquiry into Ethereum 2.0, and this is regarded as a ‘major win’ by the b<a href="https://x.com/Consensys/status/1803230653120659641" target="_blank">lockchain company ConsenSys</a>.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">ETHEREUM SURVIVES THE SEC.<br><br>Today we’re happy to announce a major win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants: the Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified us that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. <br><br>This means that the SEC…</p>— Consensys (@Consensys) <a href="https://twitter.com/Consensys/status/1803230653120659641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">June 19, 2024</a>

<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission resolution is a turning point for Ethereum and cryptocurrency at large. Consensys elaborated that, in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission statements, the regulatory agency did not object to the identification of the ETH transactions as being security transactions. Thus, the decision gives the needed assurance to the users of Ethereum.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 <p>“The in-depth probe of the Ethereum case may be big but it’s not the end of the crypto saga for the SEC as there’s a long list of blockchain developers, technology providers, and industry news contributors who have suffered under the SEC’s unjus”.</p> 
</blockquote> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-investigation-s-background">The investigation’s background</h2> 
<p>This event came after Consensys sent the SEC a letter on 7th June where they sought confirmation that the approval of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that assume ETH is a commodity would mean the closure of the Ethereum 2.0 investigation. In response, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission affirmation has given a clear picture to the Consensys group and to most tech or crypto enthusiasts.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="challenges-in-the-regulatory-framework">Challenges in the Regulatory Framework</h2> 
<p>While the conclusion of the investigation is a landmark, there is still a long way to go for comprehensive regulatory clarity. Consensys wants to get a statement saying that any software that provides an interface for users, such as MetaMask Swaps and Staking, does not violate the securities laws. This continuous work illustrates the struggle of blockchain developers and tech companies in the effort to comply with <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/regulation/">regulatory </a>requirements.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="impact-on-ethereum-and-the-market">Impact on Ethereum and the Market</h2> 
<p>The market woke up to new vigor because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has closed its investigation into Ethereum which is a bull run of thrill for Ethereum’s investors. $3555 bucks were the ones ETH reached after gaining three percent shortly after the official press <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/fox-partners-blockchain-protocol-content/">release </a>came in, reported the CoinMarketCap list. The change in this particular price is clearly a reflection of the market’s happiness and confidence that Ethereum has sorted out the regulatory situation which was always on the brink of threatening the crypto market.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> 
<p>The end of the SEC’s probe on Ethereum 2.0 is a crucial one for Ethereum and the whole digital currency industry. This step of the decision will relieve some regulations but the wider and unequal fight of regulation remains ongoing. So far, Ethereum’s presence as a big winner is surely a good sign of the future of blockchain technology, which is anticipated irrelevant with the global financial system.</p>
