Bitcoin is not a security—but that doesn’t mean that it won’t be regulated, former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chairman Jay Clayton said today.
Clayton, who now advises One River Asset Management on cryptocurrency, told CNBC that BitcoinBitcoin was not a security long before he joined the SEC. But regulation of the asset will still inevitably come, he added.
"Where digital assets land at the end of the day--will be driven in part by regulation both domestic and international, and I expect that regulation will come in this area both directly and indirectly," says Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton on #bitcoin. pic.twitter.com/voWcgCFqOH

“[Bitcoin not being a security] does not mean that it should not be regulated,” he said.
“In fact, where digital assets land at the end of the day, which is very much a wide-ranging question, will be driven in part by regulation—both domestic and international—and I expect, and I’m speaking as a citizen now, that regulation will come in this area both directly and indirectly whether it’s through how these are held by banks, security accounts, taxation and the like.”
Clayton’s comments come as Ripple, the company behind XRP, previously the third-most capitalized cryptocurrency in the market, asks the SEC to reexamine Bitcoin and EthereumEthereum. Specifically, Ripple wants a court to compel the SEC to share its internal discussions about Bitcoin and Ethereum in the hopes that it will improve its own case for XRP.
Ripple is facing a billion-dollar lawsuit from the SEC, which filed its complaint just before Clayton stepped down as chairman. The Commission alleges that the company illegally raised $1.3 billion through the unregistered sale of XRP, which the SEC says was a type of security known as an investment contract.
Embattled blockchain software company Ripple says it has ended its partnership with money transfer service MoneyGram. If this feels like deja vu, it's because MoneyGram already dropped Ripple last month as a result of the SEC's ongoing case against the company. In December, the SEC alleged that Ripple's sales of cryptocurrency XRP were unregistered securities offerings. MoneyGram's move was part of a larger trend in the industry—exchanges like Binance and Coinbase had already delisted XRP, and...
But Ripple says XRP is not a security—but rather a cryptocurrency. The company is in the process of fighting the SEC’s lawsuit on those grounds.
As part of its defense, Ripple asserts that the SEC should class XRP as a virtual currency, just like it classes Bitcoin and Ethereum virtual currencies and not securities.
The lawsuit has so far proven to be detrimental for the firm, and for XRP: top crypto exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken have halted all XRP trading. The price of the currency also dipped, and it fell down the list of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap—dropping from third to seventh in a matter of months.
Vice President JD Vance is set to headline the world's biggest Bitcoin conference, one year after President Donald Trump spoke at the event. Bitcoin 2025's organizers announced the news Friday, noting that it would be the first time a vice president has ever headlined a crypto event to make public support of Bitcoin. A source familiar with the vice president's schedule confirmed to Decrypt that he will speak at the conference. Last year, President Trump spoke at July's Bitcoin 2024 conference i...
Wellgistics Health, a publicly traded healthcare infrastructure firm, plans to accept payments in XRP and will add Ripple Labs’ token to its corporate treasury—aligning the business with a growing list of publicly traded companies that have embraced digital assets in the U.S. Tampa-based Wellgistics plans to adopt XRP for payments infrastructure that will connect manufacturers directly to pharmacies, the company said Thursday in a statement. The firm's blockchain-powered platform, which is stil...
Bitcoin is coming to the drive-thru. American fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake said Thursday it will begin accepting the world’s largest crypto at all of its U.S. locations starting May 16, giving its more than 100 million customers the option to pay for milkshakes and burgers in BTC. “The movement is just beginning,” the company posted on X. Unlike high-margin retailers, fast food chains run on thin margins and high volume, making Steak ‘n Shake’s Bitcoin rollout a real-world stress test for the...
