I've seen it said that Ukraine is the real homeland of the Jews, historically they were the most numerous there. Of course Jews will avoid actually fighting for Ukraine, and didn't Zelensky send his relatives abroad? I don't know if the Khazar theory, and the Jews of today being fake Jews, Khazar converts, holds merit. Supposedly gene testing says otherwise and otherwise reliable people say it's BS. Ashkenazi are mostly European genetically with some middle eastern admixture. What do you think?

I'm not worried about it. Another entity registered their ETH ETF fund. This could all be FUD to get the prices lowered so the funds can get in at lower floors. The ETH futures would not have been approved if there was all this uncertainty regarding ETH's commodity status. It's a commodity. There are no contracts. You can buy ETH without entering any contracts.

Worse case they order that access to metamask be removed. Plans are already in place to have it on Github as a downloadable executable that anyone can run on their computers.

A hawkish FED tomorrow and it won't be looking good. Risk off will continue and each BTC support could get taken out down to ETF approval levels. Who will save us?

Ironically a surprise ETH ETF approval might be the one thing that steadies price action. SEC has gone full retard, so any craziness is still possible there. Going after ETH/denying ETH ETF and at the same time they look likely to approve leveraged ETH futures ETFs in June. They might as well have a potato in charge.

What Gensler and the SEC think are relevant, to that extend that it is the SEC who enforces the law. However, you are correct that the SEC are not the final deciders of the law. That is of course for the Courts to do.

Whether or Gensler is accused of misleading congress is also irrelevant as to how the law will ultimately be enforced.

The act of Consensys suing the SEC will help get us towards more judicial clarity on the status of Eth and any of the securities law breaches those involved with it are liable for. Its really a double-edged sword to proactively bring such a case - could really backfire if they get an adverse determination.

Another country allowing an illegally issued security to be listed as an ETF is again, not of much relevance on an US court decision (although if there were legal arguments made in a foreign court, such arguments, whilst not binding, could be persuasive if well-reasoned. No "pressure" on the SEC at all in this regard - in fact it makes it easier to tell American's that if they want to buy unregulated products they do so on overseas exchanges. The far greater pressure is to ensure orderly and compliant US capital markets - ETH is a blip in the overall context of that, although approving ETH does risk much larger impact and ramifications of a flood of companies  raising public money by avoiding US listing rules.
