  • Mr. Huber questioned Ethereum’s contrasting perspectives on the notion of monopoly.
  • Ethereum refuted the SEC’s alleged preference for the blockchain network.
  • The contrasting stance was exposed when Ethereum highlighted DTCC’s monopoly.

Mr. Huber, a renowned sleuth on X, recently lambasted the leading blockchain network Ethereum’s contrasting comments on the concept of “monopoly”. According to his tweet, while Ethereum refuted the SEC’s alleged preference for the network, they highlighted the post-trade financial services company Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation’s (DTCC) monopoly.

Allegedly, the SEC’s inconsistency arose from their vague classification of digital assets.

Mr. Huber has also criticized Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin for allegedly encouraging fraud. In a tweet dated November 19, Mr. Huber shared an audio clip, mistakenly tagging Vitalik Buterin instead of Lubin. The audio served as evidence for Lubin encouraging Ethereum users to create “multiple pseudonymous identities” to avoid making the public scared.
