Dogecoin News: DOGE Classified as Digital Commodity Alongside Bitcoin While AlphaPepe Presale Offers the Asymmetric 100x That DOGE's Market Cap Cannot Produce

Dogecoin has been officially classified as a digital commodity by the SEC and CFTC, placing it alongside Bitcoin in the regulatory framework that now governs over a dozen major crypto assets.

DOGE has not responded https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbrett/2026/03/21/sec-cftc-crypto-guidance-clarifies-digital-commodities-framework/ with meaningful price action.
