In recent years, the intersection of cryptocurrency and securities regulation has been a hot topic of debate. As the landscape of digital assets continues to evolve, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has played a pivotal role in determining which of these currencies fall under the umbrella of securities regulation. Could you elaborate on the current count of cryptocurrencies that the SEC has officially labelled as securities? Are there any specific criteria or factors that the SEC considers when making such classifications? Furthermore, how does this classification impact investors and the overall cryptocurrency market? I'm curious to understand the implications of this regulatory framework and its potential impact on the future of digital currencies.

This classification is significant as it subjects these digital assets to the same regulatory scrutiny and compliance requirements as traditional securities.
