The document explicitly classifies 16 leading tokens—including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE—as “digital commodities” instead of securities, and exempts key on-chain activities such as staking, mining, wrapping, and airdrops from being considered securities. Of particular significance, the document introduces an asset disaggregation mechanism, offering ICO projects a clear and compliant pathway to shift from securities to non-securities status. This represents a decisive triumph for native crypto logic within the framework of federal law.

This article delves into how AI is reshaping the three core systems of SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow: during the implementation phase, AI agents are used to reduce migration risks worth hundreds of millions of dollars; in the usage phase, "Large Action Models (LAMs)" simplify complex interfaces; and in the expansion phase, lightweight applications replace bloated custom development. The ultimate goal of AI is not to replace these "Systems of Record (SoR)," but to rewrite the interaction logic, gradually rendering cumbersome traditional software "invisible" and turning them into underlying databases for AI-driven "Systems of Action (SoA)."
