SEC Labels XRP a Digital Commodity, Boosting Market Clarity

[madtrader]

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has provided new regulatory clarity by classifying XRP as a digital commodity rather than a security.

The guidance places XRP alongside other major tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, while noting that only tokenized securities generally fall under securities laws.

The decision has been welcomed by industry leaders, including Ripple’s legal chief, who said the clarification offers long-awaited certainty for investors and innovators.

The update could support broader institutional adoption as firms like Evernorth continue building large-scale crypto treasuries.
