The regulator says that ConsenSys violated securities laws through MetaMask.<\/p>\n<p>The blockchain firm now wants a federal court to declare that Ether is not a security.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If the SEC succeeds in designating Ether as a security, companies and developers would see years of work squandered and billions of dollars of economic value destroyed,&rdquo; ConsenSys said.<\/p>\n<p>The ConsenSys lawsuit comes after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/us\/us-sec-expected-deny-spot-ether-etfs-next-month-industry-sources-say-2024-04-25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> report revealed that the SEC is unlikely to approve spot Ethereum ETFs.
