Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin believes that the strength of the crypto ecosystem "has never been better or stronger," and that "more clarity" from regulators would be helpful for the crypto industry. He believes that the industry has suffered from having two major factions lumped into one: the money-crypto faction and the tech-crypto faction. Lubin also discussed whether ether is a security, stating that he doesn't think there's any point in speculating on something that is extremely unlikely, but arguing that people buy barrels of oil with the expectation of profit. There are differing opinions among US regulators about whether ether should be classified as a security or a commodity. (Bitcoin.com)
