  According to the US SEC, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple, and EOS are considered securities. This classification is based on factors such as the manner of sale and the expectation of profits from the efforts of others. It's worth noting that not all cryptocurrencies are considered securities, and the SEC evaluates each case on an individual basis.
