The Chair of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Heath Tarbert, recently reaffirmed his stance that stablecoins and Ether are going to be commodities, and the cryptocurrency native to the Ethereum network, is going to be commodities. This statement comes amid increasing regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency market in the United States.

CFTC Chair affirms Ether and stablecoins as commodities

Tarbert has been a proponent of regulating cryptocurrencies as commodities since his appointment as CFTC chair in 2019. His comments indicate that the CFTC will continue to view stablecoins and Ether are going to be commodities, regardless of the outcome of ongoing discussions with other regulatory agencies.

Tarbert’s comments are significant because they suggest that the CFTC will be able to regulate stablecoins and Ether under existing commodity trading laws. This could have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market, as it would subject stablecoins and Ether to the same regulations as other commodities such as oil, gold, and wheat.

The impact of Tarbert’s comments on future regulation remains to be seen

One potential consequence of this regulatory shift could be increased demand for stablecoins and Ether, as institutional investors and other market participants seek to gain exposure to these assets. It could also lead to increased adoption of these cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions, as the regulatory clarity provided by the CFTC could help to address some of the concerns around the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.

However, there are also potential downsides to this regulatory approach. For example, it could lead to increased compliance costs for cryptocurrency exchanges and other market participants, which could ultimately be passed on to consumers. It could also lead to increased scrutiny of the cryptocurrency market by other regulatory agencies, which could further stifle innovation and growth in the sector.

Despite these potential challenges, Tarbert’s comments are a positive development for the cryptocurrency market overall, as they provide greater regulatory clarity and could help to facilitate the integration of cryptocurrencies into the wider financial system.


In conclusion, the CFTC’s reaffirmation that stablecoins and Ether are going to be commodities is a significant development for the cryptocurrency market. While there are potential challenges associated with this regulatory approach, it could ultimately lead to increased adoption and growth of these assets, as well as greater regulatory clarity for market participants. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how regulators around the world respond and what impact this has on the overall trajectory of the sector.
