Significant Event for the Crypto Market
All five SEC members, including Chairman Gary Gensler, are set to testify before the House Financial Services Committee next week. Furthermore, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler will testify separately before the Senate next Tuesday. This event is notably significant for the crypto community.
Topics That May Be Discussed
Analysts expect that the ongoing debate over Ethereum’s (ETH) status as a security or a commodity may resurface during these testimonies. Chairman Gary Gensler has previously stated that Ethereum could have security status. The SEC is expected to clarify its views on this issue during the discussions.

Cryptocurrency lawyer MetaLawMan expressed surprise that the SEC Chairman along with all other members would testify before Congress. He also wondered whether House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry would ask Gary Gensler once again about Ethereum's status.
The hearings in which all five SEC members will participate promise to be a significant event for the crypto market. The issue of Ethereum's status may once again come to the forefront of discussions, which will be crucial for the future regulation of the industry.
