Shiba Inu Classified as Digital Commodity in Joint SEC-CFTC Guidance
Shiba Inu has been classified as a digital commodity in joint SEC and CFTC guidance that reclassified 16 major cryptocurrencies, Shiba Inu executive Lucie said. The guidance places SHIB alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Dogecoin as assets treated as digital commodities rather than securities. Lucie said the classification supports confidence in the Shiba Inu ecosystem and provides regulatory clarity that could improve market sentiment by giving the community a reference point for the token's legal status.
