I decided to make a separate topic to talk about how crypto companies defend their interests
These links are very important.
The SEC recently requested documentation about Ethereum from Consensys and other companies. The SEC wants to recognize Ethereum as a security.
Further
"The SEC accuses the MetaMask wallet of acting as an unlicensed broker-dealer, violating securities laws. A broker-dealer is a financial entity that conducts securities transactions on behalf of clients but can also trade for itself. It acts as a broker or agent when executing orders for clients; it acts as a dealer or principal when trading for its account."

"1.Ethereum is still not recognized as a security, which means that any actions of the SEC have no legal basis, and the commission exceeds its powers.
2. Ethereum is NOT a security, Consensys does not engage in securities trafficking, the SEC is acting in violation of the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution"
