Clarity Act

Because crypto markets in the U.S. have faced years of uncertainty about whether digital assets are treated as securities or commodities. The Act was designed to clearly divide responsibilities between regulators and give the industry more legal certainty.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is given authority over digital commodity markets, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to oversee securities-related activities.

It sets clear registration and compliance rules for exchanges, brokers, and dealers, while aiming to protect investors and foster a more stable environment for digital asset innovation and trading.
