Notably, as of October 25, the Ethereum community predicted Ethereum to trade at $1,488 on November 30, 2022, a 10% increase at the time but now interestingly less than the asset’s current price.

Meanwhile, on October 24, the head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) declared that Bitcoin and Ethereum are commodities. When asked if the CFTC or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would have greater authority, CFTC chairman Rostin Behnam said,
“It’s a pretty cynical view to suggest two agencies can’t figure it out and work together.”
He continued by stating that, in his opinion, the two most prominent cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, are commodities, even though the head of the SEC, Gary Gensler, would not agree with this assessment.
Gensler has, in the past, agreed with the concept that Bitcoin is a commodity. However, Gensler now believes that ETH and other cryptocurrencies that use a similar proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus should be classified as securities.
