US CFTC Chairman States Many Cryptocurrencies Are Considered Commodities Under Current Laws, Calls for Clear Regulatory Guidelines
The chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Rostin Behnam, has stated that many cryptocurrencies are considered commodities under current laws, including Ethereum and stablecoins. However, there is a lack of clear regulatory guidelines, which is hindering businesses operating in the crypto industry in the US. Behnam has emphasized the need to figure out how existing laws fit into this new technology and the necessity for a new way of thinking around policy and legislation. The differing views of the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have led to a regulatory dispute, causing uncertainty and discouraging some crypto companies from continuing business in the US.
