XRP, LINK, SOL, HBAR, DOGE May Become Easier to Trade in U.S.

Published at 2026-01-13 18:45:24

U.S. regulators are reportedly considering exemptions that would spare several major tokens — including XRP, LINK, SOL, HBAR and DOGE — from additional disclosure requirements tied to secondary trading. The proposal is not final, but officials say it could cut paperwork for broker-dealers, exchanges and custodians and speed up onboarding for institutional clients.

If enacted, the move would reduce compliance friction and could increase liquidity and participation from asset managers, ETFs and other institutional investors seeking exposure. Market participants caution that legal details and timing will determine the practical impact, but greater regulatory clarity for these tokens would likely be viewed as a positive step toward broader market acceptance.
