The US classifies BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, DOT, LINK, DOGE, LTC, XRP, HBAR, and SHIB as "Digital Commodities" (digital commodities), not securities.
The core logic behind this is that the value of these assets derives from the decentralized system's own operation + market supply and demand, rather than relying on team hype, expectation management, or passive dividend rights.

Watching key names:
Tech → NVIDIA $NVDA | Apple $AAPL | Microsoft $MSFT
Energy → ExxonMobil $XOM | Chevron $CVX
Consumer → Amazon $AMZN | Tesla $TSLA
