commodifiable

Can be traded

Commodifiable describes something that can be turned into a commodity—packaged, priced, and sold.

The term often carries critical undertones, suggesting that market forces reduce complex things to mere products: Is education commodifiable, or does treating it as a product destroy its value?

Attention, data, and even human relationships become commodifiable in the digital economy.
