Vitalik Buterin spoke out about the ban on Ethereum competitors in the US

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin commented on the pressure on Solana and other crypto projects in the US. Recall that the SEC recognized 12 cryptocurrencies as securities. Therefore, American companies submit to pressure and stop trading in such coins. At the same time, ether, bitcoin and a number of other coins are recognized as goods. The US does not prohibit trading them on crypto exchanges.

Vitalik believes that such repression will not benefit ETH and other (not banned) coins.

“I’m sorry that Solana and other projects are suffering in this way. They don’t deserve it, and if ethereum ends up “winning” because all other blockchains are forced off the exchanges, it’s not an honorable victory. And in the long run, it’s probably not a win at all. This is especially true since the real competition is not other networks, but a rapidly expanding centralized world that is being forced on us as we speak. I wish all worthy projects a fair outcome in this whole situation.”

By the way, Buterin recently announced 3 critical changes in the Ethereum ecosystem, without which its further development would be impossible. This is scaling through L2 levels (rollups), wallets based on smart contracts and maintaining privacy on the network.
