  According to the SEC, Ethereum (ETH) is not considered a security. In June 2018, the SEC's director of corporate finance stated that Ethereum is decentralized enough that it does not meet the definition of a security. However, it's important to note that the SEC's stance on cryptocurrencies can evolve over time, and other factors may come into play in the future.

  No, ETH is not considered a security by the SEC. The SEC has provided guidance that cryptocurrencies that are sufficiently decentralized and not controlled by a single entity are less likely to be classified as securities. Ethereum's decentralized nature and the fact that it is primarily used as a utility token on the Ethereum network contribute to its classification as a non-security.

  As an expert in the cryptocurrency industry, I can confirm that Ethereum (ETH) is not considered a security by the SEC. This determination is based on the decentralized nature of Ethereum and its primary use as a utility token. However, it's important to stay updated on any regulatory changes or announcements from the SEC, as the classification of cryptocurrencies can be subject to change.
