XRP may qualify as a digital commodity under the CLARITY Act, easing regulatory concerns, says lawyer.

Lawyer Bill Morgan suggests XRP already meets the criteria to be classified as a digital commodity under the proposed CLARITY Act, which requires no single entity to own 20% or more of the token and includes governance conditions. More than half of XRP's supply is distributed outside Ripple, potentially qualifying it as a "mature blockchain system" under the bill. This classification would place XRP under CFTC oversight rather than SEC regulation, impacting its legal treatment. Despite a Senate vote delay on the CLARITY Act, the bill is not considered dead, leaving regulatory clarity for XRP still possible.
