The price of Ethereum dropped to a weekly low Tuesday morning, following the publication of previously redacted portions of a lawsuit filed by Consensys against the SEC. The software firm’s complaint focused on an internal Formal Order issued by the regulator in March 2023, which explicitly referred to ETH as a security.

The SEC’s Chair, Gary Gensler, has repeatedly refused to be drawn on whether the regulator considers ETH a security, including during a House Financial Services Committee oversight hearing that took place after the internal order was issued.
