Planet Daily | SEC will end its investigation into Ethereum 2.0; Renzo raises $17 million (June 19)
헤드라인
외일체 포함ly Planet Daily News Consensys announced on X that Ethereum developers, technology providers and industry participants have achieved a major victory: the US SEC Enforcement Division has notified us that it will end its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. This means that the SEC will not accuse the sale of Ethereum of being a securities transaction.
This decision follows our June 7 letter asking the SEC to confirm that its approval of the Ethereum spot ETF in May was based on the premise that ETH is a commodity, meaning that the agency is concluding its investigation into Ethereum 2.0.
This decision is significant, but it is no panacea for the many blockchain developers, technology providers, and industry participants who have suffered under the SEC’s unlawful and aggressive cryptocurrency enforcement regime.
Our fight continues. We also seek a declaration in our lawsuit that providing user interface software MetaMask Swaps and Staking does not violate securities laws. It shouldn’t take a lawsuit to provide much-needed regulatory clarity to allow an industry that serves as the backbone of countless new technologies and innovations to thrive — we have already done that.
People familiar with the matter: Ethereum spot ETF issuers may respond to SEC comments before Friday
Odaily Planet Daily reported that two people familiar with the matter revealed that the proposed Ethereum spot ETF issuer received comments on the S-1 document from the US SEC last week and plans to submit a response by Friday this week. A source from an issuer said that the latest round of comments was reasonable and is expected to be approved soon.
Another source said: I expect someone to file very soon this week and then well see how many more rounds of applications are needed.
In May this year, the Ethereum spot ETF 19 b-4 form was approved, and then the issuer submitted the first round of S-1 draft. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said that the time to approve the S-1 will largely depend on the issuers response speed to the SECs feedback. (The Block)

Seyffart said: “Based on this document, it is impossible to tell when these products will be launched. It may not require any additional updates, or it may need adjustments.

Arthur Hayes: Increasing positions in PENDLE and DOGE
Odaily Planet Daily News Arthur Hayes posted on the X platform: I like this kind of oscillating sideways trend that leads to a drop in the price of shitcoins. I am increasing my positions in PENDLE and DOGE.
Odaily Planet Daily News 1 0x Research said in its market analysis report that last week was a critical moment in the cryptocurrency market and one of the most critical weeks in 2024. Cryptocurrencies, especially altcoins, have fallen sharply. It is difficult for the market to digest the large amount of token unlocking of Aptos $97 million, IMX $51 million, STRK $75 million, SEI $62 million, ARB $90 million, APE $18 million and UNI $90 million, totaling $483 million. Early investors and venture investors seem to be under pressure to cash out, and these token flows are dragging down Bitcoin.
Bitcoin miners have begun selling their Bitcoin inventory, and ETH balances on exchanges have increased significantly by $2.5 billion, which has previously been associated with potential selling pressure. Despite improved inflation data, Bitcoin ETFs have seen large outflows ($660 million on average over 5 days) as overall net outflows across all sectors (stablecoins, futures leverage, ETFs, etc.) were $2.4 billion, the third week of declining net flows since the ETF launched in January 2024.
In addition, as SOL-USDT falls below key trend levels and support lines, SOL may face more downward pressure, with some analysts pointing out that it may fall to $100.
Bubblemaps: DJT is not associated with Trump, and 67% of its volume is in one cluster

It pointed out that about 67% of the DJT supply is concentrated in one cluster, and 43% of the total supply is on Raydium, the Solana ecosystem automated market maker.
CoinGecko data shows that despite widespread skepticism, in just four hours after the rumor broke, the price of TRUMP fell 31% to $8.1, and its market value evaporated by more than $150 million.
Other small-cap Trump-themed meme coins fell even more. For example, TREMP fell 36.8% from $0.95 to $0.6 during the same period, temporarily reporting $0.6971. (Cointelegraph)
