As recently reported, A recent SEC insider trading lawsuit reignited discussions over which crypto assets should be considered as securities and whether Ethereum might be classified as one after the Merge. Some argue that the ETH passes the Howey test due to the way it was launched and because of its PoS transition. The ETH stakers earn revenue from validating blocks on the network so there’s an argument that the investors will buy the asset with the expectation of a profit but a security classification from the SEC seemed unlikely.
