#CryptoClarityAct

The Crypto Clarity Act, passed by the U.S. House on July 17, 2025, seeks to eliminate regulatory confusion by clearly assigning oversight of cryptocurrencies: the SEC handles token offerings deemed securities, while the CFTC supervises those considered commodities, like Bitcoin . The bill sets objective criteria for classifying assets—based on decentralization and economic function—and mandates registration, disclosure, anti‑manipulation controls, and customer protections for trading venues . Supporters say it replaces “regulation‑by‑enforcement” with a predictable framework, promoting innovation and institutional participation. Critics argue it weakens SEC authority, enables conflicts of interest, and may reduce investor protection .
