ETH can be a security and a commodity: Former CFTC commissioner By Cointelegraph

Ethereum’s native Ether (ETH) token may be both a commodity and a security, the former commissioner of the United States Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has claimed.

Speaking on a May 23 episode of Laura Shin’s Unchained podcast, Dan Berkovitz, who is also the former general counsel at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it’s legally possible for ETH to fall under the jurisdiction of both regulatory agencies.
