Gensler speculates on Ethereum post-Bitcoin ETF approval

On the heels of the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler is exercising caution on Ethereum.

In an interview with CNBC, Gensler addressed the possibility of a spot Ethereum ETF gaining SEC approval in the future. While acknowledging the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, he emphasized that this was specific to Bitcoin as a non-security commodity token.

He carefully refrained from providing further insights on an Ethereum ETF but hinted at a distinction between Bitcoin’s commodity status and the potential classification of other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), as securities.

Gensler has long maintained Bitcoin’s status as a commodity, outside the SEC’s direct purview, while the agency has yet to officially determine Ethereum’s security status.

Legal filings indicate the SEC’s inclination to view Ethereum transactions under its jurisdiction. If Ethereum were classified as a security, it could face increased regulatory scrutiny, potentially making the approval of a spot Ethereum ETF more challenging than that of Bitcoin (BTC).

Despite Gensler’s reservations, recent legal judgments, including a federal appeals court decision ordering the SEC to review a Bitcoin ETF application, may influence the regulatory landscape for crypto ETFs. This legal shift could have implications for Ethereum, especially considering the SEC’s prior approval of an Ethereum futures ETF.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon also appeared on CNBC to discuss the crypto industry’s latest developments. The 67-year-old bank boss doubled down on his assertion that Bitcoin is utilized for illicit activities such as sex trafficking, tax avoidance, money laundering, and terrorism financing.

Meanwhile, the tweet comes as JPMorgan is listed as an authorized participant for spot Bitcoin ETFs, raising questions about whether Dimon’s thoughts on the matter hold water.
