Buterin also argued that even if Ethereum were to monopolize and surpass its competitors as a result of this struggle, it would not be a true gain and could potentially be considered a loss for the crypto industry in the long run.
“Other blockchains are not our competitors, our real competition is the rapidly expanding centralized world that imposes itself on us while we speak.”
According to Buterin, the fight against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) highlights the importance of a strong and united decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It is crucial for the DeFi ecosystem to remain together and strong in the face of regulatory challenges.
The SEC has not only filed lawsuits against crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase but has also classified several prominent cryptocurrencies such as Solana, BNB (BNB), and Polygon (MATIC) as securities.
As of the time of writing, Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a 4% increase in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $1,926 according to CMC data.
