The SEC canceled its August 14 crypto rulemaking meeting with no new date confirmed. Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store and co-founder of the ETF Institute, believes that may be a good sign for the CLARITY Act. The agency cited an “unforeseen scheduling issue.”

The meeting had been scheduled to propose Regulation Crypto, the SEC’s first formal rulemaking for digital assets. It was announced just four days prior on unusually short notice. The abrupt cancellation left the industry without the regulatory signal it had been anticipating.

Hot take on SEC abruptly cancelling tomorrow’s planned meeting on crypto…

Perhaps certain influential Senators came to their senses and realized the SEC could & would move forward on crypto innovation with or w/out Congress.

If so, would bode well for Clarity Act passing.

— Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) August 14, 2026

Geraci’s Take On the Situation

Geraci suggested certain influential Senators may have come to their senses. His view is that those Senators recognized the SEC could and would move forward on crypto innovation regardless of Congressional action.

If that realization drove any behind-the-scenes pressure, it may signal renewed urgency around the CLARITY Act. Geraci’s position is that this development could bode well for the bill’s passage.

The SEC’s Posture

The SEC had made its intentions clear before the cancellation. Chair Paul Atkins stated the agency is “ready, willing, and able to come out with rules” whether Congress acts or not. Commissioner Hester Peirce echoed that position, confirming the SEC will advance work on custody, tokenized securities trading, and fundraising frameworks for crypto assets.

The SEC’s willingness to act independently removes Congress’s monopoly on crypto clarity. Senators who preferred legislative control over the crypto regulatory landscape now face a reality check. The SEC will not wait indefinitely.

The CLARITY Act’s Path Forward

The CLARITY Act has 53 Republican Senate votes locked in for cloture. It needs 60 to clear the filibuster. Between 7 and 10 Democrats are reportedly prepared to support the bill. The cloture vote is scheduled for September 15, 2026.

Senator Bernie Moreno stated that 11 months of negotiations have officially ended. He confirmed an agreement is in place and all parties are expected to honor their commitments. Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture before the August recess, securing floor time when the Senate returns.

The Bigger Picture

The CLARITY Act would establish clear statutory lines between the SEC and CFTC over the crypto spot market. Legislation carries a durability that agency rulemaking does not. A future administration can reverse SEC rules, but a statute is far harder to undo.

Atkins acknowledged this himself, describing a statute as the way to future-proof the rules. The SEC’s own chair prefers Congressional action, and the cancellation of Friday’s meeting may reflect that preference playing out in real time.

The SEC made a notable last-minute move on August 13, cancelling its open meeting scheduled for today at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Former Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett shared the news on X, revealing it was canceled due to a scheduling conflict. She attached the official SEC Sunshine Act Notice confirming the cancellation.

Terrett shared comments from an SEC spokesperson to add context. “The SEC is committed to delivering on the President’s agenda to bring certainty to the crypto space,” the spokesperson said. “Due to an unforeseen scheduling issue, tomorrow’s Open Meeting will be moved to a later date.”

What Was on the Table

The cancelled meeting was no routine administrative session. Commissioners were set to vote on whether to formally propose Regulation Crypto, the agency’s first crypto-specific rulemaking effort.

The proposal would have created a tailored offering regime for certain investment contracts involving crypto assets. It would have given token projects a path to raise capital without triggering standard SEC registration requirements.

The SEC announced the meeting on August 10 with only four days’ notice and a compressed timeline that signaled urgency. That urgency followed the Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act before its August recess, pushing that bill’s procedural vote to September 15.

The SEC’s Commitment Remains Clear

The cancellation is a delay, not a withdrawal. The SEC spokesperson confirmed the meeting will be moved to a later date. The agency’s commitment to crypto rulemaking has been stated at the highest levels.

SEC Chair Paul Atkins has made the agency’s position clear. The SEC intends to advance crypto rulemaking regardless of what happens in Congress. Commissioner Hester Peirce has gone further, outlining a concrete agenda that includes custody, tokenized securities trading, and crypto fundraising frameworks. The agency plans to push forward with or without the CLARITY Act.

What It Means for XRP and the Market

Regulatory clarity has long been a key factor for institutional adoption of XRP and digital assets at large. The SEC’s active push toward formal rulemaking signals a market environment that is becoming more defined.

Regulation Crypto, once proposed and finalized, would establish clear rules for crypto fundraising outside traditional securities registration. That kind of structure removes friction for institutions looking to enter the space. XRP already has regulatory clarity, and a formal framework from the SEC adds another layer of certainty for institutions and investors already eyeing the digital asset.

The SEC’s direction has not changed. Crypto-specific rules are coming, and when they arrive, they will move the entire digital asset market toward a more defined future.

The post SEC Cancels Open Meeting on Crypto Rules. Here’s What It Means for XRP and Markets appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Levi Rietveld, crypto expert and creator of Crypto Crusaders, recently highlighted remarks from SEC Chair Paul Atkins that carry significant weight for crypto holders.

Rietveld shared a video of Atkins speaking on the regulatory outlook for digital assets. The message was clear. The SEC is moving forward on crypto regulation, with or without Congress.

Atkins Speaks on the CLARITY Act

Atkins expressed genuine optimism about the CLARITY Act. “I have confidence that Congress will adopt the CLARITY Act,” he said, “and that the president will be able to sign it.” He connected the legislation directly to America’s competitive standing, warning that the U.S. has pushed crypto innovation offshore and must bring it back under American law.

Atkins has also stated separately that the SEC is “ready, willing, and able to come out with rules” if Congress does not act. The agency will not wait indefinitely. He stressed urgency, citing direct competition from China and other nations.

The SEC is expected to release NEW crypto RULES this FRIDAY!!

— Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviCryptoGuy) August 12, 2026

Friday’s Vote

The SEC has scheduled an open meeting for Friday, August 14, at 10:00 AM ET. The sole agenda item is whether to propose new rules creating a tailored offering regime for crypto investment contracts. This proposal, known as Regulation Crypto, is the first formal crypto rulemaking under Atkins’ leadership.

Friday’s vote determines whether the proposal advances to public comment, not whether it becomes a final rule. The commission is expected to approve that step.

Peirce Aligns With the Chair

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce has confirmed the same position. She stated the agency will address “issues like custody, trading of tokenized securities, and all kinds of questions about how the existing rules interact with crypto.”

She confirmed the SEC will also develop a fundraising framework for crypto issuers. Peirce echoed Atkins, affirming the agency will push forward on rulemaking regardless of the CLARITY Act’s outcome.

XRP Holders Are Watching

XRP already holds digital commodity status under the SEC and CFTC’s March 2026 joint guidance. Clearer rules on custody, tokenized securities trading, and fundraising pathways directly strengthen the legal environment surrounding assets like XRP. Institutional investors require that certainty before committing capital at scale.

The SEC that once pursued years of enforcement action against Ripple now actively works to build a regulatory structure that supports crypto markets. Atkins has positioned the agency as a participant in the industry’s future. Friday’s vote is the clearest demonstration of that yet.

The post Pundit Says This SEC News Is Massive for XRP and Crypto appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) shared remarks from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce confirming the agency will advance crypto rulemaking with or without the CLARITY Act. Peirce laid out a concrete agenda, and her comments carry significant weight for XRP holders watching the Senate.

Peirce Lays Out the SEC’s Agenda

Peirce confirmed the SEC has substantial crypto work ahead. She said the agency will work on “issues like custody, trading of tokenized securities, and all kinds of questions about how the existing rules interact with crypto.” She also named fundraising as a priority, noting the SEC can “develop a framework for people who are trying to do fundraising using crypto assets.”

Her position aligns with SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who previously stated that the agency is ready, willing, and able to make rules. Peirce echoed that directly. She said the chairman “is absolutely right that we will work hard either way.”

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) August 4, 2026

Legislation Remains the Preferred Path

Peirce expressed optimism the CLARITY Act will pass. The bill would give “the industry and investors and regulators an easier path forward,” she said, because it establishes very clear lines about who has authority over the crypto spot market.

The CLARITY Act draws a legal distinction between digital assets classified as commodities and those classified as securities. It assigns regulatory jurisdiction to either the SEC or the CFTC depending on the asset.

For XRP, which already has established regulatory clarity following its legal battle with the SEC, a clear statutory framework could reinforce its position and expand the legal certainty institutional investors need.

The Senate Clock Is Running

The CLARITY Act has 51 confirmed votes in the Senate. It needs 60 to clear the filibuster. The Senate departs for recess on August 8. The bill has not been scheduled for a floor vote. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has prioritized other legislation, and no cloture filing has been publicly confirmed.

If the Senate does not act before recess, the bill moves to September at the earliest. Recent reports suggest 7 to 10 Democrats are ready to support the bill. However, the Senate must still schedule a vote.

What It Means for XRP and the Market

Clarity would remove friction for institutional adoption of XRP and crypto technology. The SEC’s commitment to advancing crypto rules independently is significant following years of aggressive enforcement. Agency rulemaking can move faster than legislation, and the SEC is ready to step in regardless of the CLARITY Act’s outcome.

The post CLARITY Act Update for XRP Holders: SEC Commissioner Drops Major Statement appeared first on Times Tabloid.

A document proposing XRP as a strategic financial asset for the United States has returned to the spotlight after crypto commentator Pumpius featured it in a post on X.

Pumpius suggested the document reflects broader preparations for XRP’s role in global finance, although several community members noted that it’s a private submission and not official government policy.

Pumpius went on to claim that XRP is being positioned as “a strategic financial asset for the United States and the settlement rail for the next generation of global finance.” He concluded by saying that those waiting for an official announcement “will miss the positioning.”

To support his view, Pumpius attached screenshots from a document titled Comprehensive Proposal: XRP as a Strategic Financial Asset for the U.S., which appears on the SEC’s public website as part of its public comment repository.

Proposal Envisions Broad Role for XRP

The document, authored by financial consultant Maximilian Staudinger, outlines a proposal that states XRP could improve liquidity management within the banking sector while reducing transaction costs.

It estimates that replacing a portion of traditional nostro accounts with XRP-based liquidity solutions could free up approximately $1.5 trillion in banking liquidity and generate billions of dollars in annual savings.

The proposal also recommends that U.S. regulators classify XRP as a payment network rather than a security, remove legal restrictions affecting XRP-related banking activity, and encourage its use for bank liquidity solutions.

Beyond regulatory changes, the document presents a phased implementation plan that includes government payment pilots, broader banking adoption, and the gradual use of released capital to build a national Bitcoin reserve.

Another section outlines an accelerated implementation timeline, suggesting that several milestones could be completed within six to twelve months if supported by coordinated action from agencies including the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Community Clarifies the Document’s Status

Despite Pumpius’ interpretation, several X users stressed that the document should not be viewed as evidence of an official government strategy.

X user XRP Myth Buster responded that the proposal is “not an official U.S. government or SEC policy.” According to the commenter, it was submitted by an individual through the SEC’s public comment process more than a year ago, where members of the public can provide opinions and recommendations on regulatory matters.

Another community member, joker joker, offered a similar clarification. The user stated that the SEC merely hosts the submission alongside many other public comments and does not endorse the ideas presented. The commenter also identified Maximilian Staudinger as the author, describing him as a financial consultant involved with the XRP and Ripple ecosystem who submitted the proposal as a personal initiative rather than on behalf of any government agency.

While Pumpius presented the document as evidence that XRP is quietly being positioned for a larger role in global finance, responses from other community members emphasized that its publication on the SEC website should not be interpreted as official policy or confirmation that U.S. regulators have adopted its recommendations.

The post XRP Is Being Positioned As SEC Prepares for a Bridge Asset appeared first on Times Tabloid.

A Wall Street institution just received federal approval to hold XRP. That alone shows that something significant has shifted in regulators’ view of the asset. On June 12, the SEC approved NYSE Arca’s proposal to list and trade shares of the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF.

The fund will trade under the ticker symbol TKNZ. Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) highlighted the development, calling it a big win for XRP, and noting that XRP “made the cut as an eligible asset, sitting right alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.”

The SEC Approval and Its Significance

Rowe Price Sponsor LLC will actively manage the fund’s investment strategy. The fund seeks long-term capital growth through investments in crypto assets. T. Rowe Price filed its S-1 registration statement with the SEC in October. NYSE Arca then filed the proposed rule change on November 6. The SEC published it for comment later that month before issuing its approval.

The filing attached to BankXRP’s post shows the official SEC document language. The text confirms that eligible assets include Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Dogecoin (DOGE), and others. The document also states the fund “is expected to hold between five and fifteen Eligible Assets” under normal circumstances.

XRP Alongside Institutional-Grade Assets

XRP’s inclusion on the eligible assets list carries weight. The SEC’s approval means regulators have accepted XRP as a qualifying asset under NYSE Arca Rule 8.201-E(d)(1).

This is the generic listing standard for Commodity-Based Trust Shares. XRP was officially classified as a commodity by the SEC and CFTC earlier this year, and meeting this filing standard puts XRP in the same regulatory category as BTC and ETH for this fund’s purposes.

Rowe Price manages trillions in assets. Its entry into active crypto investing signals growing institutional confidence in digital assets as a legitimate asset class. XRP earning a place on that list shows a shift in how major financial players assess the token’s viability.

Active Management and XRP’s Position

The fund operates as an actively managed product. T. Rowe Price retains discretion over which eligible assets it holds at any given time. The eligible assets list defines the universe of options available to the fund’s managers.

The fund may also hold cash, cash equivalents, and stablecoins alongside its crypto positions. The approval marks a regulatory milestone for XRP.

TLNZ joins a growing list of XRP ETFs, and these products have drawn notable institutional attention and surpassed expectations. As TKNZ moves toward its listing on NYSE Arca, attention will turn to T. Rowe Price’s actual portfolio decisions once trading begins.

The post This New SEC Approval Is a Big Win for XRP. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The XRP community is buzzing with excitement as Ripple has submitted a formal follow-up letter to the SEC Crypto Task Force. The letter from May 22 responds directly to questions raised during Ripple’s March 20 meeting with Commissioner Hester Peirce and Task Force staff.

Crypto commentator BankXRP (@BankXRP) brought the letter to wider attention, noting it builds on Ripple’s initial submissions to the Task Force. This is not a general statement of intent. Instead, Ripple put five specific regulatory proposals in writing.

JUST IN: Ripple officially submitted a follow-up letter to the SEC Crypto Task Force on May 22, 2026

Here's what they're demanding:
Stablecoins treated as proper collateral

… https://t.co/9DTmsGUz4f pic.twitter.com/MgERkvxr0O

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) May 27, 2026

Stablecoins as Collateral

Ripple’s first proposal targets how stablecoins are treated on balance sheets. The letter calls for an amendment to Rule 15c3-1 to clarify the proper accounting treatment of stablecoins as collateral.

This matters for broker-dealers that hold or use stablecoins. Clear balance sheet treatment removes a significant source of regulatory uncertainty for institutions.

The 0% Haircut Argument

Ripple goes further on stablecoins under Rule 15c3-3. The letter proposes a new category called “Qualified Payment Stablecoins” and argues stablecoins should carry a 0% haircut, provided there is a mint-burn relationship between the broker-dealer and the issuer.

The current 2% haircut, Ripple argues, remains punitive. Reducing it to 0% would treat qualifying stablecoins more like cash equivalents, which aligns with how they function in practice.

XRP Alongside BTC and ETH

This is the proposal the XRP community is paying closest attention to. Ripple asks the SEC to revise Question 4 in the FAQ on Crypto Asset Activities. The current language limits “readily marketable” treatment to Bitcoin and Ether.

Ripple wants that extended to any non-security that meets the readily marketable definition, noting the SEC’s recently released guidance on securities laws applied to crypto assets. XRP, which the SEC and CFTC jointly classified as a digital commodity in March 2026, would qualify under that standard.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

On-Chain Registry as Legal Record

Ripple’s fifth proposal addresses a structural question about tokenized securities. The letter calls on the SEC to designate the on-chain registry as “the single authoritative legal register,” eliminating what it describes as the dual-registry ambiguity that arises in digital twin structures. This would establish on-chain records as legally enforceable, not just a parallel system running alongside traditional off-chain registries.

What Comes Next for XRP?

The letter is a follow-up, not a final answer. The Task Force must now respond to these proposals, whether through formal guidance, rule amendments, or FAQ revisions.

Each of Ripple’s requests has a direct path to regulatory action. If the SEC adopts even part of what Ripple proposed, XRP’s treatment under broker-dealer rules changes materially. The XRP community is watching closely, and based on BankXRP’s post, so is the market.

The post This Ripple Official Follow-up Letter to the SEC Excites XRP Army appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Finance expert Levi Rietveld has claimed that recent actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve could mark the beginning of a major liquidity expansion cycle that may benefit the cryptocurrency market, including XRP.

In a recent tweet, Rietveld wrote, “I TOLD YOU XRP FAM!!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!! THE [Fed] IS DOING IT!!!” alongside a video in which he discussed what he described as major developments tied to U.S. money supply and global liquidity conditions.

In the video, Rietveld argued that the Federal Reserve is preparing to inject billions of dollars into the economy, beginning with what he described as an initial $7 billion injection next week. According to him, the move represents the early stage of a broader quantitative easing cycle that could extend beyond the United States and involve other major economies, including China and Europe.

Rietveld said the increase in liquidity would significantly expand the global M2 money supply. M2 is a measure of money circulating within an economy and includes cash, checking deposits, and easily convertible near-money assets.

I TOLD YOU $XRP FAM!!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!! THE SEC IS DOING IT!!! pic.twitter.com/Pe8dwhUo4o

— Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) May 26, 2026

Rietveld Explains Why Rising M2 Could Benefit Crypto

In the video attached to the X post, Rietveld explained that higher M2 levels create conditions that encourage investment activity across financial markets. He stated that when more dollars circulate within the economy, individuals and businesses generally have greater access to capital.

According to Rietveld, increased liquidity enables companies to generate stronger profits and pay employees more, which can contribute to higher stock market activity and broader investment participation. He emphasized that investors often direct excess liquidity toward higher-risk assets during expansionary monetary cycles.

Rietveld then shifted his focus to the digital asset market. He argued that cryptocurrencies have historically shown one of the strongest correlations with rising global liquidity levels. In his words, “the one investment that has the strongest and most aggressive correlation with M2 is the crypto market.”

His comments suggest that he expects digital assets such as XRP to benefit if central banks continue to expand liquidity and inject additional capital into financial systems worldwide.

XRP Army Continues Monitoring Macro Developments

Rietveld’s statements come at a time when cryptocurrency investors are closely monitoring global macroeconomic policy decisions, particularly those involving interest rates, liquidity injections, and quantitative easing measures.

Many market participants have increasingly linked crypto market momentum to central bank activity, especially after previous periods of aggressive monetary expansion coincided with significant rallies across digital assets.

Although Rietveld focused broadly on the crypto sector, his post specifically highlighted XRP, signaling his belief that the asset could potentially gain from changing liquidity conditions if his outlook on global M2 expansion proves accurate.

The comments also reflect a growing narrative among crypto analysts who believe that a renewed easing cycle by central banks could increase investor appetite for digital assets in the months ahead.

The post Finance Expert: I Told You XRP Holders. Its Happening. The Fed Is Doing It appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Institutional demand for regulated crypto investment products continues to grow, and XRP remains one of the most closely watched assets in that conversation. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have already secured major ETF milestones in the United States, XRP investors are still waiting for broader ETF access that could unlock deeper institutional participation.

Crypto-focused account RippleXity recently drew attention to an important regulatory development on X, highlighting a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission review that could influence future XRP ETF listings. The development centers on a proposed NYSE Arca rule change known as the “85% proposal,” which could reshape how crypto trust products qualify for exchange listing.

The 85% Proposal

NYSE Arca submitted the proposal as an amendment to Rule 8.201-E, which governs the listing of commodity-based trust shares. Under the proposed change, at least 85% of a trust’s net asset value must consist of assets that already satisfy the exchange’s listing eligibility requirements.

The remaining 15% could include non-qualifying assets without disqualifying the product. The rule would also require derivatives exposure to be measured using aggregate gross notional value instead of standard market value calculations.

JUST IN: SEC Reviews 85% Proposal That Could Impact $XRP ETF Listings.

— RippleXity (@RippleXity) April 28, 2026

This structure aims to create a clearer and more standardized path for listing diversified crypto trust products while maintaining tighter oversight of risk exposure.

Why This Matters for XRP

The filing specifically names assets such as Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP as examples of qualifying holdings because these assets connect to futures markets that meet surveillance and trading standards required by regulators.

This matters because ETF issuers seeking exposure to XRP may benefit from a more predictable listing framework. Instead of navigating a fully customized approval process, products with significant XRP exposure could qualify more efficiently if they meet the new threshold.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Several asset managers have explored XRP investment products; however, a clearer generic listing rule could strengthen the path toward that outcome.

A Step Toward Institutional Access

The SEC has opened the proposal for public comment and will eventually decide whether to approve, reject, or extend proceedings for further review. This isn’t direct approval for an XRP ETF, but it shows the regulatory framework for crypto products is still evolving.

For institutional investors, listing clarity matters as much as asset performance. Many large firms require clear compliance frameworks before committing serious capital to digital assets.

That is why RippleXity’s observation carries weight. The 85% proposal may appear technical, but it could become one of the quiet developments that shape the next stage of XRP adoption.

For XRP holders, progress often begins with rules before price. If the SEC moves toward clearer listing standards, the long-term case for XRP ETF access becomes significantly stronger.

The post SEC Reviews 85% Proposal That Could Impact Future XRP ETF Listings appeared first on Times Tabloid.

For years, the crypto industry operated under a cloud of uncertainty. Investors, exchanges, and blockchain companies faced one persistent question: which digital assets would regulators treat as securities, and which would escape that label? Few tokens stood closer to that battle than XRP, especially after Ripple’s long legal fight with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

That uncertainty is now changing in a meaningful way. BankXRP recently highlighted fresh SEC interpretive guidance showing that XRP and several other major cryptocurrencies now fall under a formal “digital commodities” category. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory shifts the industry has seen in years and signals a major policy reset from enforcement toward clarity.

XRP Officially Joins the Digital Commodities Category

On March 17, 2026, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued joint interpretive guidance explaining how federal securities laws apply to crypto assets. The framework introduced a five-part token taxonomy that separates digital assets into digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins, and digital securities.

The SEC has finally shifted the goalposts. After years of relentless lawsuits against the broader industry and specifically targeting $XRP their latest staff guidance now formally categorizes these assets as "Digital Commodities."

Reality is finally catching up.

The SEC now… pic.twitter.com/C42dFpsdUg

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) April 26, 2026

Within that structure, regulators identified 16 major assets as digital commodities, including XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Aptos, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, Tezos, and Shiba Inu.

This classification matters because digital commodities fall primarily under CFTC oversight rather than traditional SEC securities enforcement. It also replaces much of the uncertainty created by the SEC’s older 2019 framework and years of aggressive lawsuits across the industry.

Why This Matters for XRP

For XRP, the development carries both legal and symbolic importance. Judge Analisa Torres’ 2023 ruling already established that XRP itself is not inherently a security in secondary market sales. However, the new 2026 framework goes further by explicitly placing XRP inside a formal digital commodity classification.

The distinction gives clearer guidance to exchanges, institutional investors, and potential ETF issuers. It also improves certainty on staking, token usage, and wider market participation.

Many analysts believe this reduces one of the biggest barriers that held XRP back for years: regulatory hesitation. With clearer rules now in place, institutions may feel more comfortable expanding exposure to XRP and other large-cap digital assets.

A Shift Away From Regulation by Enforcement

BankXRP described the development as the SEC finally “shifting the goalposts,” and much of the market agrees. Under SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the agency has signaled a move away from regulation by enforcement and toward formal market structure rules.

Atkins reinforced that shift by stating that the SEC is no longer the “securities and everything commission,” reflecting a broader policy change in Washington.

For XRP holders, this moment feels long overdue. After years of legal battles and uncertainty, formal recognition as a digital commodity indicates regulatory reality is finally catching up with arguments long made by much of the XRP community.
