A new draft from the U.S. House of Representatives clarifies digital commodity transactions According to Odaily, a new draft aimed at discussing the market structure from the U.S. House of Representatives seeks to clarify the classification of digital commodity transactions. Forbes journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that the draft states on page 49 that transactions related to the sale of digital commodities do not constitute securities, provided that the buyer is not granted ownership rights in the issuer's business, profits, or assets. Essentially, buying and selling digital commodities in the secondary market, rather than purchasing directly from the issuer, will not automatically trigger U.S. securities laws unless the transaction grants ownership or claims to the company's profits or assets.
