He also said concerning Ethereum “I think it’s pretty obvious it’s a security. It was issued via an ICO [initial coin launch]. There’s a management team. There was a pre-mine.”

Saylor says for a crypto to be labeled a commodity, there cannot be a dedicated issuer for its tokens. he said further that any crypto that undergoes a hard fork to alter its protocol or issuance pattern must be considered a security.

The Microstrategy CEO said that the continuous implementation of the Hard fork, including the network’s upcoming merge, only serves to solidify Ethereum’s status as a security, not a commodity.

What also makes Ethereum a security is the difficulty bomb that it undergoes every six months.
