⬤ U.S. lawmakers have put forward legislation that could finally draw clear lines around crypto regulation. The Digital Commodity Intermediaries Act would give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission authority over digital commodities, moving them out of the regulatory gray zone that's plagued the industry for years.
⬤ The bill introduces specific definitions to separate digital commodities from securities—a distinction that's been at the center of countless legal battles. For XRP and similar assets, this could mean trading under CFTC oversight rather than facing securities-related restrictions. The proposal marks a significant shift in how Congress approaches crypto market structure.
⬤ "The bill would grant the Commodity Futures Trading Commission expanded authority to regulate the offer and sale of digital commodities," according to the legislative text, establishing a framework that could reduce compliance uncertainty for market participants.
⬤ While still early in the legislative process, the bill signals that Congress is actively working toward federal oversight standards. If it moves forward, the framework could reshape enforcement practices and boost institutional confidence in U.S. crypto markets—developments that traders and investors in assets like XRP are watching closely as indicators of where regulation is headed.
