The chairman of the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission, Rostin Behnam, told the Senate Agriculture Committee on 09 March 2023 that Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency next to Bitcoin, is a commodity. "We would not have allowed the Ether futures product to be listed on a CFTC exchange if we did not feel strongly that it was a commodity asset," he elaborated, stating that his agency has "serious legal defences" to support their case.
