The post The Biggest Crypto Regulatory Win in a Decade Failed to Boost Bitcoin – Why?<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n

Bitcoin is trading<\/a> at $70,538 on Friday, down 2.68% on the week, as a hawkish Federal Reserve decision overwhelmed what analysts are calling the most significant regulatory development in United States crypto history.<\/p>\n

The Crucial Ruling You Should Know<\/h2>\n

On March 17, the SEC and CFTC issued<\/a> a joint 68-page interpretive release classifying 16 major crypto assets – including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP – as digital commodities under federal law. The ruling ends more than a decade of jurisdictional uncertainty that had kept institutional capital cautious on digital assets.<\/p>\n

\n

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated<\/a>: “After more than a decade of uncertainty, this interpretation will provide market participants with a clear understanding of how the Commission treats crypto assets under federal securities laws. This is what regulatory agencies are supposed to do: draw clear lines in clear terms.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig added: “For far too long, American builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs have awaited clear guidance. With today’s interpretation, the wait is over.”<\/em><\/p>\n
