Under current law, many tokens constitute commodities. This direct statement provides much-needed clarity on the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies in the United States. Rostin Behnam also delved into the complex regulatory issues facing the cryptocurrency industry and emphasized the urgent need for legislative action.
