The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) stated in its Dec. 13 court filing<\/a> against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried that digital assets like Bitcoin(BTC<\/a>), Ethereum (ETH<\/a>), and Tether (USDT<\/a>) are commodities.<\/p>\n

CFTC wrote that these digital assets are commodities because they meet the definition of the term as defined by the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

Does the CFTC Chairman hold a different opinion?<\/h2>\n

While the CFTC lawsuit said ETH was a commodity, CFTC chairman Rostin Behnam appears<\/a> to hold a different opinion of the asset.<\/p>\n

At a recent private crypto event at Princeton University, Benham said BTC was the only cryptocurrency that should be classified as a commodity.<\/p>\n

The statement was in contrast to previous ones made by the regulatory chief. In May, Benham said Bitcoin and Ethereum were fit to be labeled commodities in a CNBC interview.<\/p>\n

He also reportedly made a similar statement at a New York event in October, suggesting that the SEC chair Gary Gensler has a different opinion.<\/p>\n

After ETH migrated to the proof-of-stake network, Gensler reportedly said<\/a> cryptocurrencies that allow staking could qualify as securities under the Howey test.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, token classification remains a significant issue in the US as regulators have failed to clarify how assets can be classified. Presently, the SEC and crypto payment firm Ripple is involved<\/a> in a two-year-long legal battle to determine if the sales of XRP qualify as securities.<\/p>\n

Other countries like Belgium declared<\/a> that assets without issuers, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, are not securities, while Canada's Securities Administrators (CSA) recently said<\/a> stablecoins could be securities or derivatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
