Clarity on Digital Commodity Transactions

A new draft proposal from the U.S. House of Representatives aims to bring greater clarity to how digital commodity transactions are treated under U.S. law.

According to Odaily and reported by Forbes journalist Eleanor Terrett, the draft outlines on page 49 that transactions involving the sale of digital commodities are not considered securities—as long as they do not provide the buyer with ownership rights in the issuer’s business, profits, or assets.

In simpler terms: buying or selling digital commodities on the secondary market won’t trigger securities regulations unless the transaction includes claims to ownership or financial returns tied to the issuing entity.

This draft could mark a significant step toward regulatory certainty for crypto markets and digital asset platforms.
