[Ethereum] is promoted as an investment. The developers of [Ethereum] promoted it as an investment that was contingent on the growth of the Ethereum network. For instance, the Ethereum Foundation notes on its website that many [Ethereum] users ‘see it as an investment, similar to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.’ In addition, the ICO Documents included representations that [ethereum] production would dramatically slow over time, resulting in [ethereum] becoming increasingly scarce and, thus, more valuable.
