🚨NEW: I reached out to Tom Emmer for comment on today’s court filing from Consensys. He told me:

“Last year, Gary Gensler refused to tell Congress if the SEC categorizes ETH as a commodity or a security. Newly released court documents show that the SEC’s enforcement…

The filing says the 'Ethereum 2.0' investigation, as it was called, was based on the SEC's belief that “possible offers and sales of certain securities, including, but not limited to ETH” had occurred since at least 2018.

If the Gensler SEC finds ethereum to be a security, it…

In 2019, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin said they are “big friends and fans”of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, explaining that the agency views bitcoin and ether as “decentralized” and that no transactions involving those particular assets are considered to be securities.

🚨NEW: Consensys has hired the same Wachtell lawyers Coinbase 🛡️ is using in its battle against the SEC.

Wachtell is widely regarded as one of the best litigators in the world.

“They certainly didn’t cheap out on hiring the best law firm in the U.S,” Andrew Keys tells me.

Looks like Consensys received a Wells notice from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in regards to its MetaMask 🦊🫰 wallet so it’s chosen to sue the regulator first, asking a court to determine $ETH status.

The question Gary Gensler has refused to answer may now ultimately be answered by a court.

🚨NEW: Crypto firm Consensys is suing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over its attempts to try and label $ETH a security, per Jeff Roberts 👀👇🏼
