Commodity standards refer to established criteria for the quality, quantity, and characteristics of raw materials or primary agricultural products. In digital economics, this concept extends to how certain digital assets might be classified and regulated based on their inherent properties. These standards ensure consistency and fair trade across markets, providing a basis for pricing and exchange. They offer a common reference point for market participants.
Context

Agencies such as the CFTC frequently consider if specific tokens function more like traditional commodities than securities. Future legal frameworks may establish clearer distinctions and specific requirements for digital assets deemed commodities.
The SEC's new generic listing standards for commodity-based digital asset ETPs streamline market access and operationalize a clearer path for institutional integration.
