United States Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler riled up Crypto Twitter on Monday after affirming that Bitcoin (BTC អ) is a commodity. Questions were raised about its impact on Grayscales’ proposed Bitcoin មូលនិធិប្តូរប្រាក់ (ETF) and why Ether (សាកលវិទ្យាល័យ ETH) wasn’t mentioned.

Speaking to Jim Cramer on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Monday, the SEC chair said that while many crypto-financial assets have the key attribute of a security, Bitcoin is the “only one” that he was comfortable publicly labeling as a commodity:

"អ្នកខ្លះដូចជា Bitcoin - ហើយនោះជាតែមួយគត់ដែលខ្ញុំនឹងនិយាយ ពីព្រោះខ្ញុំនឹងមិននិយាយអំពីនិមិត្តសញ្ញាណាមួយនៃនិមិត្តសញ្ញាទាំងនេះទេ ប៉ុន្តែអ្នកកាន់តំណែងមុនរបស់ខ្ញុំ និងអ្នកផ្សេងទៀតបាននិយាយថាពួកគេជាទំនិញ។"

The remarks kicked up chatter about Grayscale’s application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a spot-based ETF — which is expected to see a yes-or-no decision from the SEC on July 6.

James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, told his 19,300 Twitter followers that while Gensler’s សុន្ទរកថា are positive for Bitcoin, it may not be enough to see Grayscale’s Bitcoin spot ETF approved next week.

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, made similar comments, noting he saw only a 0.5% chance of Grayscale’s GBTC being អនុញ្ញាត to convert to an ETF. 

No mention of ETH

Crypto Twitter also picked up on the fact that Gensler refrained from mentioning whether he placed Ether in the same commodities boat, despite the regulator and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CTFC) previously agreeing that the asset was a commodity just like Bitcoin.

Positive for Bitcoin

Nevertheless, Gensler’s views on Bitcoin have been seen as a positive for the king of crypto.

Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor shared the video to his 2.5 million Twitter followers, adding that Bitcoin is essential as a treasury reserve asset, which will allow governments and institutions to support it as a digital asset to grow the economy.

Meanwhile, Eric Weiss, founder of Blockchain Investment Group, បានកត់សម្គាល់ on Twitter that Gensler is the second SEC chair to declare Bitcoin a commodity, making it near impossible for this classification to be altered in the future.

Interestingly, the positive news for Bitcoin resulted in another price decline, falling from a 24-hour high of $21,478 to $20,635 at the time of writing.

Ether has fallen from a 24-hour high of $1,234 to $1,171 at the time of writing as the bears retain their grip on the markets.
