I can pretty much guarantee that this is due to customs/import charges. Consumers will cancel orders over a surprise bill from that, a big business won't care at all or will have their own broker.

It's a bit misleading to say "yellow", it's the combination of dark gray body with yellow. Copying their branding with black instead of dark gray is fine, if Amazon is anything to go by.

No, this is just a SEC vs CFTC turf war. Neither is willing to concede the "territory" to the other; the only notable part here is that the SEC still doesn't think ETH is settled. It's a minor TV interview, not something
