A new bill issued by the U.S. House of Representatives aims to clarify the classification of digital commodity transactions. As Eleanor Terrett, a journalist for Forbes magazine, noted, the bill states on page 49 that transactions involving the sale of digital commodities are not considered securities, provided that they do not grant the buyer ownership rights in the issuer's business, profits, or assets. Essentially, buying and selling digital commodities on the secondary market, instead of purchasing directly from the issuer, will not automatically activate U.S. securities laws unless the sale grants ownership or rights to the company's profits or assets.
