The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission classifies stablecoins as securities

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that stablecoins can be classified as securities in certain cases, just like currency or short-term debt instruments.

This classification places stablecoins under the agency's oversight, meaning they may need to comply with strict registration and disclosure requirements.

The decision is part of the agency's efforts to mitigate risks in the digital currency market, especially given the significant growth in the use of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC.

This step may impact companies that issue these coins and increase regulatory scrutiny in the sector.
