🚨 Senate Banking Committee just passed the Crypto CLARITY Act with bipartisan votes.

This bill establishes a regulatory framework distinguishing securities from commodities in crypto markets. Key technical implications:

• CFTC gets jurisdiction over digital commodity spot markets

• SEC retains authority over crypto securities

• Creates a 2-year transition period for existing projects to restructure

• Introduces a decentralization test - if no single entity controls >20% of governance/supply, it's likely a commodity

For devs: This could finally resolve the "is it a security?" question that's been killing DeFi innovation. Projects can now design token economics with clearer regulatory boundaries.

Still needs full Senate + House approval, but bipartisan committee passage is historically a strong signal. First major crypto legislation with real teeth since 2021.
