XRP Begins Era as Commodity Under US Laws, Stuart Alderoty Reacts

Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO), Stuart Alderoty, has reacted to the reclassification of some crypto assets, including XRP, as commodities, not securities. The reclassification, carried out by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), officially labeled Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA) and XRP as nonsecurity crypto assets.

Could commodity status boost XRP adoption?

In a post on his X page, Alderoty maintained Ripple “always knew that XRP was not a security.”

The Ripple CLO was one of the most vocal figures during the long legal battle with the U.S. SEC and has always insisted on challenging the regulatory body’s classification.

He acknowledged all those who stood firm with Ripple and expressed appreciation to the Crypto Task Force for ensuring clarity in the digital asset space. Alderoty noted that with the SEC now effectively agreeing that XRP is not a security, the asset faces less restrictive rules.

Notably, securities like stocks are strictly regulated by the SEC, while commodities like gold or oil are under the oversight of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The development implies that exchanges can list XRP and other crypto assets classified as commodities more easily. This is a big shift for crypto assets like XRP and could greatly impact adoption positively in the broader financial ecosystem.

Some users have also taken a swipe at former SEC Chair Gary Gensler for extending the Ripple lawsuit for nothing.

XRP price holds key support despite drop in trading volume

The new classification might lead to increased institutional confidence in XRP and potentially boost the price for assets like XRP, SOL, ADA and others.

As of this writing, XRP exchanges hands at $1.51, which represents a 1.19% decline in the last 24 hours. The coin had previously soared to an intraday peak of $1.54 before dipping slightly to its current price. Nevertheless, it is still trading above the $1.50 support level.

XRP’s trading volume has, however, slipped massively by 41.25% to $3.07 billion within the same time frame. Technical signals suggest the coin is overbought, as its Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit 73.23 after its weekly rally.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
