The U.S. still has to define its favorite 'crypto' for the CLARITY Act, but there are already hints...
Despite rumors, the Clarity bill did not highlight any specific crypto asset or network such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Cardano.

The United States is pushing for laws in favor of cryptocurrency adoption.
The Clarity Act addresses the concept of 'mature blockchains'.
The 'maturity' will depend on the Securities Commission after evaluating governance.
In the United States, the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is going through a period of intense activity with the proposal of the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act. The former was signed on July 18 by Donald Trump, marking a historic milestone for cryptocurrencies in the United States. The latter, CLARITY, could be signed imminently.
This last one, known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, is a bill that proposes a reclassification of digital assets as 'digital commodities'. In the last few hours, misinformation circulated claiming that the text of that regulation had designated Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano as 'mature blockchains'.
CryptoNews reviewed that document and found that, in no section or article, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, or XRP are explicitly mentioned, thus debunking recent claims.
Definitions and requirements for a mature blockchain
Although the CLARITY Act does not name specific cryptocurrency networks, it repeatedly addresses the concept of 'mature blockchain' and establishes some requirements and definitions to understand what it refers to.
For example, section 31 of the first title of the law defines:
"The term 'mature blockchain system' means a blockchain system, along with its related digital commodity, that is not controlled by any person or group of persons under common control."
CLARITY Act.
This definition underscores the importance of decentralization as a fundamental criterion.
Additionally, in the section 'Development Plan', within the section titled 'Requirements regarding certain transactions of digital commodities', the law emphasizes the role of governance and establishes necessary conditions to consider a blockchain as 'mature':
"...the various roles that exist or are intended to exist in relation to the blockchain system, such as users, service providers, developers, transaction validators, and participants in governance, including a discussion on any mechanism by which control or authority is exercised over the blockchain system or its related digital commodity, and any critical operational dependence of the blockchain system or its related digital commodity."
