I thought they were pretty clear on where the line is drawn.

Gary Gensler and Rostin Behnam consider Bitcoin a commodity in the crypto space, so would be regulated by the CFTC.

Every other crypto (probably even Ethereum) is a security, and so falls under the SEC's jurisdiction.

That's what they've been signalling for a while now.
