#CryptoClarityAct

What is the Crypto Clarity Act?

A law aimed at separating regulatory responsibilities between U.S. agencies: CFTC (for digital commodities like Bitcoin) and SEC (for digital securities).

Defines digital assets (such as “digital commodity” and “digital security”) and establishes a clear regulatory environment.

Imposes registration of digital commodity trading platforms with CFTC, while investment/incentive activities are registered with SEC.

Provides a safe harbor allowing fundraising up to $75 million annually for projects aimed at achieving sufficient decentralization without the need to register with SEC.

✅ Legislative status so far

The law was passed in the House of Representatives on July 17, 2025 (vote 294–134).

Part of the "Crypto Week" which also included the GENIUS Act for stablecoin regulation, and the Anti-CBDC Act to prevent the issuance of a central bank digital dollar, within a rapid legislative campaign.

Currently, the law is on its way to the Senate, and there is a similar draft prepared by the Senate Banking Committee that includes new classifications such as "ancillary assets" and additional exemptions like "Regulation DA."

It faces “moderate opposition” from some Democrats and consumer protection groups who are concerned about diminishing SEC powers.
