Proud of my @Consensys colleagues @MattCorva and @laurabrooksie1 for impacting this decision. Submit comments people!!!
BOOM!! APPROVED! There it is. The SEC just approved spot #Ethereum ETFs. What a turn of events. It's really happening. h/t @PhoenixTrades_

Today, Consensys filed a lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission. The goal behind this is to ensure that Ethereum remains a vibrant and indispensable blockchain platform and to preserve access for the countless developers, market participants, and institutions who have a stake in the world’s second largest blockchain. #ETHforAll 1/6

Today, Consensys took an important step towards preserving access to ether and by extension the Ethereum blockchain in the U.S. We are suing the SEC and fighting back against its overzealous regulatory overreach. You can find more of my thoughts here: consensys.io/blog/consensys-… #EthforAll

Today, we sued the #SEC. They have no right to unplug the U.S. from #Ethereum. They have no right to prohibit peer-to-peer blockchain software. Too many Americans - developers, investors, and everyday users - are going to be hurt if they are allowed to continue unopposed. So we had to do something.
🚨 Consensys sues SEC over Ethereum. Seeks: -- Ruling Ethereum not a security -- Injunction for SEC to leave ETH devs alone -- Ruling MetaMask not a broker dealer fortune.com/crypto/2024/04/2…

This is one of the most important pieces I’ve read in awhile and has become even more poignant over the last week. The crux of the complications we face in regulation is laid out in the distinction between “Money Crypto” and “Tech Crypto.” 1/2
I wrote in @CoinDesk about a #crypto #policy issue that has been vexing me: "money crypto" and "tech crypto" are two sides of the same coin, but not recognizing these two frames of reference leads to incoherent advocacy, self-inflicted wounds, and bad policy. This should change.

It always was and always will be about decentralization. Beware of centralizing wolves in sheep's clothing. 🧵1/15

This could make Ethereum dramatically more usable. As soon as *this July* we could have gas-subsidized transactions for ALL accounts and contracts, and more. Will be decided on Friday’s ACD call. A good time to show support!
Ethereum wallets may be getting a significant upgrade soon. With the proposed change, EOAs will immediately be able to send batch txs, expiring txs, unordered txs, and more. (thread)
