The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said it would apply its oversight consistently with this interpretation.&nbsp;At the 2026 Blockchain Summit held at Washington DEC on Tuesday, the SEC Chairman Paul Atkins&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/DigitalChamber/status/2034002537599173063">said</a> that “after the SEC's persistent failure to provide clarity” for “more than a decade,” the commission had to rewrite the investment contract.

The Howey Test, in place since 1946, is a standardised framework for determining whether a transaction qualifies as an investment contract.
