BREAKING: SEC & CFTC Declare Most Crypto Assets Are NOT Securities


Historic Guidance Dropped on March 17: Here's What Changed:
✅ $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $XRP, $ADA are now classified as Digital Commodities, not securities
✅ NFTs, in-game items and memberships are not securities
✅ Staking, mining and airdrops fall outside securities law
✅ Tokens can exit securities status once issuer obligations are fulfilled
✅ A 400+ page formal rulemaking with an Innovation Exemption is expected within 2 weeks
SEC Chair Atkins said "We're not the securities and everything commission anymore."
This replaces the previous regulation by enforcement approach with clear written rules. It is the biggest US crypto regulatory shift in over a decade.
BTC-0.26%
ETH0.14%
SOL0.18%
XRP0.39%
