#数字资产市场动态 Just announced, the SEC has given Ethereum a clear answer: no safety concerns!

Late-night news: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially responded—Ethereum does not pose a safety risk and will not be included in the 2026 key regulatory list.

How significant is this statement? Imagine:

· The "securities attribute" issue that has been hanging for years is finally settled
· The biggest compliance concern for institutional funds is now dismissed
· The words "non-priority" mean at least a 12-month policy stability window

The regulatory sword is no longer hanging overhead. What can the market do?

Capital dares to invest confidently. Developers no longer need to tread carefully. The narrative has shifted from "Can we survive?" to "How big can we grow?"

So, where will the money and talent flow next? The Layer2 scaling story, DeFi's yield mechanisms, or RWA bringing real-world assets on-chain? During this clarity period, who can seize the opportunity?

Share your thoughts.

Uh, SEC's recent actions really gave us a reassurance token, a 12-month window period is stable. --- No, now Layer2 really should take off. Capital has been waiting for this moment. --- Finally, no need to watch regulatory news every day. Can we focus on earning yields? --- I think the real opportunity is in RWA. It's the key for traditional capital to enter the market. --- To put it nicely, it's safe and secure. To be blunt, it's just temporary indifference. Don't celebrate too early. --- Developers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Now they can build properly. --- Before 2026, it's all about grabbing land and expanding. Who knows what will happen after that? --- Will institutions really start pouring money in? I still have some doubts. --- Finally, we can stop the FUD. These past few years have been exhausting.

Wow, now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The SEC's move has directly taken the sword hanging over our heads away, and ETH can finally stand tall. Wait, will it really turn out the way they say? Or is it just another script of "good news all gone, bad news ahead." Layer2 is about to take off, but it seems like DeFi is the easiest place to get chopped up...

No, I finally heard this sentence, feeling like I've been hanging for over three years. Just one sentence: the institutional investors will directly unbind, waiting for this wave of rebound.

Wow, is the SEC really loosening up? A 12-month window, now it's time for Layer2 and RWA to go crazy, right?
