SEC and CFTC Classify Aptos Token as Digital Commodity

The SEC and CFTC have issued a joint interpretive release that clarifies the definitions of certain crypto assets, including digital commodities.

In this release, the agencies state that digital commodities derive their value from supply and demand, are related to the programmatic operation of the blockchain network, and do not inherently provide rights to ownership or claims of profits.

Aptos token, APT, has been included as an example in this announcement, reinforcing its position within the digital commodity category.
