Techub News reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jointly released an interpretive guide on crypto assets that provides a clear definition of "digital commodities": crypto assets whose value derives from the programmatic operation of the cryptographic system and supply-demand dynamics, rather than profit expectations dependent on the core management actions of others. Such assets do not possess passive income or give holders claims to corporate profits, asset rights, or other intrinsic economic attributes, and therefore do not fall within the scope of securities. The document lists 16 example assets explicitly classified as digital commodities: APT, AVAX, Bitcoin, BCH, ADA, LINK, DOGE, Ethereum, HBAR, LTC, DOT, SHIB, SOL, XLM, XTZ, and XRP.
