According to LorienT on Twitter, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has provided updated clarification on cryptocurrency regulation, as reported by CoinCentral. The SEC reaffirmed that Bitcoin remains classified as a commodity, while most other digital assets, including many altcoins, may be considered securities under current frameworks. This announcement is crucial for traders as it impacts the legal status and future compliance requirements for exchanges and token projects. The clarification may lead to increased market volatility for altcoins and renewed focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum trading pairs as regulatory certainty grows (source: CoinCentral, SEC statement, May 2025).
