Breaking: SEC announces that Ethereum is NOT a security. Some of the ICO launched on it could be, depending on central authority and control.
Decentralization, where no single party has the ability to manipulate or cause fraud, gives authorities no good reason to intervene. ICOs that take in capital centrally, and manage it, will be required to follow SEC regulations for securities.
This headline could change the entire sentiment and landscape of the crypto market, is it rally time again?

The news is welcome relief for digital currency owners who would have been subject to much stricter scrutiny should bitcoin BTCUSD+6.51% and Ether ETHUSD+9.81% be labeled securities.

Regulation = corruption. Why does the SEC even have the right to name what Eth is either way? Because we the people let them have it! We simply bow to whatever they say and let them drive us as if we love to be driven.

NOt a good news at all, If someone is holding ETH, Sell it as soon as possible, I think now people will start selling and the price decrease will be a disaster.

This is just another government FUD to make it looks like crypto currencies and blockchain is just a failed project. Blockchain and ethereum don't need fed approval or blessing to strive.
All I know for sure is that blockchains and crypto currencies has come to change the world financial systems for good

It’s important to understand that the SEC’s power extends to the end of its shores and not 1 inch further. It’s wonderful that the blockchain is borderless! Smart companies will grow their ecosystems externally of US shores and let the US be relegated to a “me too” participant on the backside.

Good news (I think) but wonder about ETC? Wasn't Ethereum an offshoot of ETC and ETC was actually the coin that had an ICO? Then again, I dont think Coinbase would list it if there was going to be a problem!

The SEC's go-to person on digital currencies and introductory coin contributions (ICOs) says that bitcoin and ether are not securities but rather that many, yet not all, ICOs are securities and will go under the administrative control of the SEC and important securities laws.
"Fundamental to deciding if a security is being sold is the means by which it is being sold and the sensible desires for buyers," William Hinman, leader of the Division of Corporation Finance at the SEC, said in a discourse at the Yahoo All Markets Summit: Crypto meeting in San Francisco.
Hinman said the essential issue in deciding if digital currencies and ICOs were securities was the desire for an arrival by an outsider, particularly whether there was a man or gathering that supported the creation and offer of the advantage, and who assumed a critical part in its improvement and upkeep. For buyers of the advantage, the key is whether they are looking for an arrival on the speculation.

That’s good news, otherwise if ETH or bitcoin was considered as a security, we the retail investors wouldn’t be able or allowed to purchase any of these. In other words, it would be banned here in the IS. I’m up for some regulations whet it comes to ICO’s. There is too much fraud going on. Let the best survive. Nice bounce after the news though. Let’s hope it holds. I definitely hope you are right about the bottom. It really gives many people a huge relief. At least those who didn’t sell.

I really belived especially about ETH not as a security oppose to some of the ICO’s. However, it’s very good news for investors who doubted it. It’s another green light for those who were afraid. When it comes to recent sell offs, there are rumors about someone doing this price manipulation purposely. It’s called OTC (over the counter). Someone sells bitcoin for below the market price to make sure they are not traced for tax purposes. Whoever buys it, sells it immediately for market price. Both sides win right? I’m not sure how they do this OTC thing, but it makes sense. Imagine people who bought bitcoin many years ago, not they are selling the way so they don’t have to pay taxes. There also might be involved bitcoin futures being shorted at the same time. As I mentioned, it’s a rumor. With today’s good news and pump, we still should be careful what’s coming. Even if you call it a bottom which I believe as well.However, they may be playing with us. Anyway I’m glad I bought some coins two days ago. If the bottom is called, I feel great about my holdings.

This might effect badly for Ethereum let alone for the crypto space.
While SEC have their reasons as it seems. Well some rules are indeed necessary .while hope it gets a positive feedback to us all.Rather hope if the statement does not just fires up the market in down trend again.
Thanks for the heads up buddy !

Hinman specifically said that bitcoin is not a security because it is decentralized: there is no central party whose efforts are a key determining factor in the enterprise. In addition, ether is also not a security because the ethereum network is also decentralized.
Hinman did not address the securities status of other cryptocurrencies, notably ripple (XRP), which is the subject of a lawsuit alleging that it is a security, noting only that, "Over time, there may be other sufficiently decentralized networks and systems where regulating the tokens or coins that function on them as securities may not be required.

Id seen that and the SEC mentioned that most ICO' s are securities. So when a ICO like fr8network or nuggets establishes itself on the market is no longer declared as a security?

Ethereum is not a security, at least in the view of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) director of corporate finance William Hinman.
Speaking at the Yahoo! All Markets Summit: Crypto event in San Francisco Thursday, the official told the audience that the agency "doesn't see a lot of value in treating ether today as a security," explaining that the fact that there is no central figure or group responsible for ethereum, and therefore "the assets may not represent an investment contract."
The statements are the latest in a long line of remarks that have found various regulatory officials opining on whether the nature of the sale in which ether was issued made it subject to U.S. securities laws. Such a view has been advanced largely by former regulators, while the SEC has largely spoken generally (and derogatorily) about its treatment of ICOs and token sales.
