A year ago, I’d have called this response from the SEC Chairman pure fantasy. We are only just getting started. @SquawkCNBC's @BeckyQuick: "What do you think about the new companies launching and looking to be the "Microstrategy to Ethereum?"" SEC Chairman Paul Atkins: "The SEC has stated (informally) that Ether is not a security. Obviously the Ethereum blockchain is a very key component for a lot of other digital currencies. I think its encouraging that these sorts of digital assets are being embraced by the marketplace, and that provides a good future for development and further innovation in this sector.”
