Coinbase’s SEC Documents Reveal NY Attorney General Wanted ETH Declared Security

Coinbase’s latest SEC filings reveal a bombshell: New York’s top prosecutor wanted Ethereum classified as a security. The move—buried in legal paperwork—could’ve reshaped crypto’s regulatory landscape overnight.

Wall Street’s usual playbook: if you can’t compete, regulate. Now the question is whether this was a one-off demand or the opening salvo in a broader campaign against altcoins.

Market watchers are eyeing the SEC’s next move—because nothing says ’financial innovation’ like a good old-fashioned jurisdictional turf war.
