Crypto expers hail Clarity Act and GENIUS Act as turning point for the industry

After some delay, U.S. lawmakers approved three key digital asset bills that are expected to have significant implications for the entire digital asset sector. On Friday, July 18, the U.S. House approved the Clarity Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, marking a major victory for regulatory clarity.

The Clarity Act, in particular, delineates a clear jurisdictional boundary between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. This is especially important, as overlapping and conflicting jurisdictions have been a major source of uncertainty for crypto firms.

“This legislation brings needed structure to a fragmented regulatory landscape by establishing fit-for-purpose rules. It clarifies the roles of the SEC and CFTC, strengthens investor protections, recognizes the importance of decentralization, and gives developers a clear path to build,” CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim said.

Yuval Rooz, CEO and co-founder of Digital Asset, praised the bipartisan passage of the bill. He noted that the legislation will allow crypto firms to innovate with greater confidence. “I hope this legislation helps spur a safer and more open financial ecosystem,” Rooz said.
