Blockchain pioneer Consensys advocates for Ethereum ETFs

Consensys, a significant blockchain technology hub, has proposed friendly initiatives to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This firm’s schematic, however, points to the rooted security systems encrypted in the Ethereum blockchain, notably the Proof of Stake (PoS) technique. The SEC receives many comments and requests regarding its application for Ethereum ETF.

Consensys champions Ethereum’s PoS for SEC’s nod in ETF Arena

The premise of Consensys’ contention is in the inevitable security level of the PoS consensus model of Ethereum as opposed to the safeness of BTC PoW. The blockchain entity clarified its view in a comprehensive comment letter that no fraud and manipulated concerns with Ethereum are unestablished.

The major advantage of the PoS-based Ethereum, which makes its block finality faster, is that it makes the transaction confirmation occur more quickly than other PoW-based systems. Besides, the network plans the Micheline model, and the validation process is executed by different random entities, substantially reducing the chance of a family rule control and thus saving the network from manipulation. 

Consensys also highlighted economic disincentives in Ethereum PoS, such as slashing penalties for misbehaving actors and costs incurred by attempts to initiate a malicious attack on the network. 

Of course, this whole system is only possible due to the PoS algorithm and the environmental perks it brings. Therefore, the safety and fraud prevention aspects of the Ethereum platform keep it in the top spot.

Consensys efforts with SEC members go beyond technology issues and are just a technical discussion of blockchain mechanics but facilitating the fund’s ETF approval. On the part of Consensys, they pointed out the parallels between Ethereum’s security features and the Bitcoin-backed ETPs that were already approved by the SEC. Towards this end, Consensys looked to erode regulators’ worry by proving that Ethereum can support EFTs without jeopardizing investors’ safety or the market’s integrity.

Pioneering Ethereum ETFs for a decentralized future

The implication is not only regulatory compliance that this initiative is trying to achieve but also a statement that ConsenSys dedicates itself to advanced web3 technology, which will foster adoption. 

By putting forward the intention of Ethereum ETFs approval, Consensys is facilitating many millions of users to join in the decentralized internet, which can signal the beginning of a new era in which digital assets ownership and investment democratization will take place.
