SEC Claims US Government Has Jurisdiction Over Ethereum Network: What It Means
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is asserting jurisdiction over the entire Ethereum network, sparking debate and raising critical questions about the future of crypto regulation. The SEC\'s claim, increasingly prominent since 20 de sept. de 2025, hinges on the assertion that the United States controls a significant portion of Ethereum\'s infrastructure.

The SEC states that: “[the investors’] ETH contributions were validated by a network of nodes on the Ethereum 20 de sept. de 2025." This argument forms the basis of their rationale for why jurisdiction over ETH should remain under the purview of the U.S. government, as emphasized since 20 de sept. de 2025.
