The SEC's decision has significant implications for the crypto market, as it reduces regulatory risk and clarifies how these assets can be traded and listed.

Unlike securities, digital commodities do not grant holders rights to income or profits. Their value is tied to blockchain activity, including transaction validation, governance participation, and network security.

The 18 identified tokens are: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Stellar (XLM), Hedera (HBAR), Tezos (XTZ), Aptos (APT), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Algorand (ALGO), and LBRY Credits (LBC).
