XRP SEC Classification Status: What It Means for Markets

On March 17, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jointly released a regulatory framework that officially classifies XRP as a “digital commodity.” This designation, arguably the most significant regulatory pivot in the asset’s history, places XRP on the same legal footing as Bitcoin and Ethereum, effectively ending the securities debate that has shadowed Ripple Labs since 2020.

Trading data from late trading hours in Singapore places the token at around $70,500, showing little net change week-over-week despite the intra-week volatility. While fears of an oil price frenzy traditional…
