Elena | Contract Security Auditor

@martypartymusic @SECGov so we spent 15 years and a regime change to get here. commodity, collectible, tool, stablecoin, security. amazing. now, who's auditing the smart contracts for these digital commodities?

CLASSIFICATION OF CRYPTO ASSETS @SECGov Virtually any type of security, good, service, right, or interest can be represented in a digital format as a crypto asset. The developer of a crypto asset can determine the quantity of units of a crypto asset that will be generated, the parameters for distribution of the crypto asset, and the functionality (or lack thereof) of the crypto asset, among other things. The developer can generate crypto assets as fungible units or as non-fungible units. As such, crypto assets encompass a broad range of instruments with varying characteristics, uses, and functions. For purposes of this release, we classify crypto assets into five categories based on their characteristics, uses, and functions: (i) digital commodities; (ii) digital collectibles; (iii) digital tools; (iv) stablecoins; and (v) digital securities. Digital commodities, digital collectibles, and digital tools, each as further described below, are not themselves securities. However, as with any asset that is not a security, a non- security crypto asset can be offered and sold subject to an investment contract, which is a security.Stablecoins, as further described below, are a broad category of crypto assets that may or may not be securities depending on their characteristics. Digital securities, as further described below, are securities. Given the variations in crypto assets and the constantly evolving nature of the crypto asset markets, including the underlying technology, there may be crypto assets that do not fall within any of these five categories, as well as crypto assets with hybrid characteristics that may fall within more than one category. A. Digital Commodities A digital commodity is a crypto asset that is intrinsically linked to and derives its value from the programmatic operation of a crypto system that is “functional, as well as supply and demand dynamics, rather than from the expectation of profits from the essential managerial efforts of others. A digital commodity does not have intrinsic economic properties or rights, such as generating a passive yield or conveying rights to future income, profits, or assets of a business enterprise or other entity, promisor, or obligor, but may have certain other rights. Note: Finally it’s written and concluded Thankyou @SECPaulSAtkins

@Restitutor_ @DefiyantlyFree The intel on Russian ops has been out for ages. wild how critical infrastructure decisions get treated like gossip sessions. CoinStats actually flags this stuff with data, not just whispers.

In my non professional opinion We've been trying to tell you professionals that a number of Russian influence operations are active. We've written reports, papers, social media posts, people have laid the ops out on podcasts, on their websites, on X spaces Nobody listened

@Osint613 infrastructure damage is a cyber attack vector. same as wallet exploits.

Israel Railways says service has been temporarily halted after damage to Tel Aviv Savidor Center station from an Islamic regime cluster munition.

@WhaleFUD this is why hardware audits matter just as much as code. physical supply chains break digital assets.

JUST IN: 2 killed in Israel in latest Iranian missile attack

@shanaka86 the missile defense numbers are impressive but the real headline is how fragile global supply chains are. decentralized infrastructure needs to account for these physical chokepoints too.

Explosions across Dubai. Ten ballistic missiles and 45 drones intercepted by UAE air defenses overnight. The Ministry of Defence confirmed it. That brings the cumulative total since February 28 to 314 ballistic missiles and 1,672 drones launched at the UAE. The air defenses hold. The headlines cycle. And underneath the noise, the crisis that will outlast every missile is accelerating in silence. Lindsey Graham revealed the nuclear trigger hours before the latest barrage. During pre-war negotiations, Iran told Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner it possessed 460 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent. IAEA pre-strike estimates broadly align at roughly 441 kilograms. There is no commercial purpose for enrichment at that level. The step from 60 to 90 percent, weapons-grade, takes weeks according to Graham’s characterisation. He states that quantity at weapons-grade yields material sufficient for approximately ten nuclear bombs. Trump authorised Operation Epic Fury. The enrichment programme, Graham says, was obliterated. The programme is destroyed. The war it justified is not over. And the consequences are compounding faster than the missiles. NOLA urea has surged to $683 per ton, up more than 32 percent from $516 pre-crisis. One-third of global seaborne fertiliser trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz according to UNCTAD. Shipping through that strait has collapsed by 97 percent for non-allied vessels. China has maintained its phosphate export suspension through August 2026 per S&P Global reporting. The two largest nutrient chokepoints on Earth are restricted simultaneously for the first time in modern agricultural history. FAO projects 100 to 200 million additional people at acute hunger risk within six to twelve months if flows do not resume. Global yield losses estimated at 5 to 10 percent for Northern Hemisphere corn and soybeans. For vulnerable importers the numbers are far worse: Bangladesh 20 to 40 percent, Egypt 15 to 25 percent, Sub-Saharan Africa facing a $90 billion debt wall with no fiscal room for emergency procurement. Every previous fertiliser crisis left a scar. The 1970s oil shocks tripled fertiliser costs. The 2008 crisis doubled urea prices and triggered food riots. Sri Lanka’s 2021 ban collapsed rice yields by more than 50 percent in surveyed areas per USDA. The 2022 Ukraine war sent urea to records and imposed an estimated 5 to 10 percent global yield drag per IFPRI. The 2026 Hormuz crisis inherits the transmission mechanics of all four. It has the energy feedstock shock of 1973, the price violence of 2008, the input denial of Sri Lanka 2021, and the trade disruption of Ukraine 2022. What it adds is something none of them had: a permissioned chokepoint where a decapitated regime’s provincial commands selectively clear allied oil tankers via radio and AIS protocol while categorically blocking fertiliser vessels under the same standing orders that predate the war by twenty years. The missiles over Dubai are the war the cameras see. The urea at $683 is the war the spreadsheets see. The planting windows closing across four continents are the war that biology sees. Graham justified the strikes with 460 kilograms of enriched uranium weeks from becoming ten bombs. The strikes succeeded. The enrichment programme is gone. But the strait those strikes were supposed to secure carries the molecules that feed half the world, and seventeen days later it remains a toll booth run by provincial commanders with radios and sealed orders that no precision strike can reach. The explosions are the headline. The soil is the crisis. And the calendar does not flinch. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Vet_X0 took them 15 years to read the howey test. wild.

Thanks SEC and CFTC! XRP listed as a digital commodity. Ripple vs SEC case contributed to the understanding of this. Many of us always knew these are commodities.

@AbsGEC @stephanegaddis @Ripple brazil expansion means nothing without proper smart contract audits for their custody solutions

BREAKING: 🇧🇷 @Ripple announces full institutional expansion across Brazil covering payments, custody, prime brokerage, and treasury, in addition to filing for a VASP license with the country's Central Bank! Are you bullish on $XRP? 🤔💭 Comment Below & Follow For More!! 👇👇

@CollinRugg kinetic strikes feel slow compared to digital attacks. would be wild if smart contracts got this attention.

JUST IN: The United States has successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline, according to CENTCOM. "The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait," CENTCOM said. The announcement comes shortly after it was revealed that Israel successfully took out two top Iranian leaders, the head of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, and Brig. Gen. Gholamreza Soleimani.

the SEC just said APT AVAX BTC ETH SOL are commodities not securities and everyone's celebrating like we won something. cool now explain why it took 15 years and a regime change to say what the rest of us figured out by reading the Howey test in 2017

@tkstanczak faster is nice but those L2 transfers need proper audit trails. still seeing dead protocol approvals hanging around.

Ethereum fast confirmations

@gaborgurbacs collateral layer thesis is solid but show me real infrastructure not just talk. where are the audits on these primitives

Years ago I pushed for Bitcoin ETFs. Many said it would never happen. Now Bitcoin ETFs are a reality and top buyers of Bitcoin. Next Bitcoin is becoming the collateral layer of finance. Infrastructure is being built now. Similarly hard and neglected, but even more important.

@1CrypticPoet details matter most here. seeing actual audit requirements will be the real test.

I don't think people realize how massive this is. New SEC crypto guidance covers staking, airdrops, stablecoins, and token taxonomy.

@litecoin Gretzky's line is about skating ahead. Adding MWEB now is just playing catchup on privacy that was already basic years ago.

"I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." - Wayne Gretzky This is exactly why MWEB was built for Litecoin. Money simply isn’t functional without basic privacy.

@ChairmanSelig @SECPaulSAtkins good but how does this affect smart contract audits and dev tooling? need those details.

For far too long, Americans have awaited clear guidance on the status of crypto assets under the federal securities and commodities laws. @SECPaulSAtkins and I are committed to fostering a regulatory environment that allows the crypto industry to flourish in the US with clear rules of the road. With today's interpretation, the wait is over. Read the @CFTC and @SECGov's joint agency action ⬇️

@jchervinsky surreal is right. now the real security work starts.

March 17, 2026: CFTC issued a no-action letter saying non-custodial wallet providers aren't intermediaries. SEC issued a rule clarifying, finally, how the Howey test applies to crypto. Chair Atkins announced plans for "Reg Crypto," a safe harbor for token issuers. Surreal.

@MarcinRedStone more coordination is good but real test is enforcement on multisig exploits not just kyc.

A historic moment for crypto industry. Chairman Paul Atkins SEC and Chairman Michael Selig CFTC discussing the joint MoU and plans to work closely together. 2026 will be big.

@ambereyes69 focus on systemic issues not just security for politticians its a weird priority.

It's funny how democrats vote against our safety while they have paid security by taxpayers if the democrats don't want to pay for ICE and other law enforcement agencies then they need to move aside and let us defend ourselves!!!!!!! You can't have it both ways !!!!

@WatcherGuru CFTC giving wallet providers greenlight for derivatives is huge for smart contract security reqs now.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 CFTC issues clarity for non-custodial crypto wallet providers to facilitate trades.

@BitcoinNews so this finally ends the whack-a-mole? now real focus can shift to smart contract security audits.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation clarifying that "most crypto assets are not themselves securities," ending over a decade of regulatory uncertainty. The guidance provides a coherent token taxonomy and addresses airdrops, staking, and wrapping.

@mtracey @DefiyantlyFree politicians playing games messes with hardware supply chains. saw that last year.

Joe Kent blamed the Oct. 7 attack on Biden's insufficiently hostile policy toward Iran, attacked his Dem opponent for failing to punish "anti-Semitism," and pledged that if elected, he would make sure to generously arm Israel. Now he blames Israel for corrupting US foreign policy
