#CryptoClarityAct : U.S. Pushes for Digital Asset Regulation

In mid‑July 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) by a strong bipartisan vote (294–134), marking a landmark moment in crypto legislation reform.

Now the bill heads to the Senate, where debate continues—and lawmakers are already building on its core framework.

What the CLARITY Act Does

Defines regulatory jurisdiction: Clarifies whether a digital asset is a security (governed by the SEC) or a commodity (under the CFTC), based on criteria like decentralization and usage.

Sets disclosure and registration rules: Requires developers and exchanges to meet transparency standards, register when needed, and segregate customer assets.

Provides safe-harbor for token fundraises: Allows small issuances (e.g. under ~$75 M) partial exemptions from full SEC registration, encouraging innovation while maintaining accountability.
