  • The SEC has ended its probe into Ethereum 2.0, deciding not to pursue charges against Consensys.
  • Consensys had previously sued the SEC, alleging regulatory overreach and seeking clarity on Ethereum's status.
  • The closure of the investigation follows the approval of Ethereum spot ETFs, which classified ETH as a commodity.
  • Despite this win, Consensys and other crypto entities still face ongoing legal and regulatory uncertainties.
  • The price of Ether saw an increase following the announcement, reflecting positive market sentiment.
