SEC Corporation Finance Staff Calls Canton Coin a Digital Commodity in No-Action Letter
The Division of Corporation Finance says it will not recommend enforcement over Canton Coin's programmatic issuance, The Block reported on 3 November 2026.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Corporation Finance has issued a no-action letter covering CC, according to a report by The Block published on 3 November 2026.
According to the report, the division will not recommend enforcement action over Canton Coin's programmatic issuance, and the letter describes CC as a digital commodity.
What the letter says
The Block's report gives two core points from the letter:
- Enforcement: the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance will not recommend enforcement over the programmatic issuance of Canton Coin.
- Classification: the division refers to CC as a digital commodity.
The position is that of a division of the SEC, as described in the report's headline. The Block's summary does not set out who requested the letter, the date the letter itself was signed, or any conditions attached to it.
Programmatic issuance in focus
The letter, as reported, addresses the way CC is issued programmatically. That issuance mechanism is the specific activity the division says it will not recommend enforcement over.
