Ethereum Decentralization Efforts Could Help it Avoid Being Deemed a Security by SEC
- JP Morgan says Ethereum has a chance to avoid being labeled a security due to increased network decentralization
- Ethereum now runs on a proof-of-stake model rather than proof-of-work, raising centralization concerns
- Lido's share of staked Ethereum has dropped from 1/3 to 1/4, reducing concentration risks
- The SEC says sufficiently decentralized tokens may not be securities with no controlling group
- The SEC is reviewing Ethereum ETF applications, so its decision on Ethereum's status is important
