What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed new regulations classifying XRP as a digital commodity, placing it alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. These proposals also include Stellar and Tezos, extending a joint designation made by the SEC and CFTC in March. The proposals remain in draft form and are subject to change after public comment.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The classification reignites the debate over whether XRP should be considered a security. However, a 2023 federal judge previously ruled that Ripple's direct institutional XRP sales qualified as investment contracts, meaning some future sales could still face securities scrutiny.

Digital asset rules could potentially fall under the purview of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has been granted more authority to oversee digital assets under the CLARITY Act.
