CFTC Lists Bitcoin Among Digital Commodity Examples
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has identified Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Stellar (XLM), Tezos (XTZ), and XRP as examples of "digital commodities." This classification, part of the CFTC/SEC taxonomy, suggests these assets are generally not considered securities, though it serves as an illustrative classification rather than a binding rule.
