🇺🇸 SEC Clarifies Cryptocurrency Status



The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally provided clarity: most crypto assets are not securities. The regulator presented a new token classification — they are now divided into five categories: digital commodities, collectible assets, instruments, stablecoins, and digital securities.

🤝 The CFTC also participated in developing the interpretation, confirming that some crypto assets fall under commodity market regulations.

The main change is a shift from the previous approach: the SEC now officially recognizes that most tokens do not fall under securities laws. Clarifications have also been provided on such practices as staking, mining, and airdrops.
