US Commodity Futures Commission (CFTC) Chairman Classifies 6 Cryptocurrencies as Digital Commodities! Here Are the Details

According to Wu Blockchain, Selig, while explaining the crypto asset classification jointly developed by the CFTC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), presented these six crypto assets as examples of digital commodity categories.

Selig’s remarks are noteworthy in the context of efforts to create a more detailed framework for the regulatory status of crypto assets in the US. The CFTC Chair stated that the institution plans to differentiate between various activities and asset types, rather than classifying the entire crypto market under a single category.

In this context, the CFTC is expected to develop more specific rules for areas such as digital commodities, retail crypto transactions, and physical delivery conducted on the blockchain.

Selig also stated that wallets that do not offer custody services and software developers should be treated separately within the regulatory framework. The aim is to differentiate between organizations that directly hold assets or provide trading services and those that only develop software.

The CFTC’s approach is based on classifying different activities within the crypto ecosystem according to their function, rather than subjecting them to the same regulatory standards.

Selig’s inclusion of BTC, ETH, SOL, XLM, XTZ, and XRP as examples of digital commodities also stands out as a key element of the more detailed crypto asset classification that the institution is preparing.

On October 6, Spyre Therapeutics (SYRE.O) shares fell 4.1% to $88.90 in pre-market trading after the company priced a $350 million follow-on offering. The biotechnology firm announced late Monday that it was issuing approximately 4.1 million shares at $85 per share, an 8.3% discount to its last closing price. The company plans to use the net proceeds to advance its programs in gastroenterology, rheumatology, and dermatology, as well as to move a new project—SPY072—into later-stage development for the chronic skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa, among other uses. Jefferies, TD Cowen, Leerink, and Stifel are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. On September 30, Merck’s (MRK.N) tulisokibart achieved success in a dermatology clinical trial, after which SYRE shares climbed about 5%. Analysts noted that the trial data supports SYRE's experimental candidate targeting the same signaling pathway. Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, SYRE had around 88.2 million shares outstanding prior to the offering. As of Monday’s close, the stock had risen 183% year-to-date. According to LSEG data, 16 of 17 analysts rate the stock a “strong buy” or “buy,” with one analyst rating it “hold.” The median price target is $123.
