📉 Coinbase is backing Grayscale in its bid to create an exchange-traded product based on Ethereum, arguing that Ether is not a security. Main arguments:
• ETH is a commodity, not a security
• SEC approval for Bitcoin ETP applies to Ethereum ETP
• Ethereum's technological security limits fraud
• Market depth, tight spreads and price correlation indicate market resilience
• Coinbase has an agreement with CME and market tracking
However, S&P Global has expressed concerns that staking Ethereum ETFs could increase concentration risks.
