#CryptoClarityAct

The **#CryptoClarityAct**, officially the *Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act*, is a U.S. legislative proposal aimed at clearly defining how digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins are classified under federal law. It was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives during “Crypto Week” in July 2025.

The act aims to settle a long-standing debate: whether a digital asset is a **security**, regulated by the **SEC**, or a **commodity**, regulated by the **CFTC**. This distinction is crucial for developers, investors, and exchanges, as it determines compliance obligations and regulatory risk.

One of its key features is the **"maturity pathway,"** which allows crypto projects to start under SEC oversight and transition to CFTC regulation once they meet decentralization and ownership criteria. Projects raising under \$75 million within 12 months on mature blockchains are eligible for limited regulatory exemptions.

The act offers clearer guardrails for innovation, giving crypto businesses more certainty. It also provides investors with better transparency and legal protections. However, critics warn it could weaken SEC enforcement and allow companies to sidestep investor safeguards.

Overall, the **Crypto Clarity Act** is a significant step toward structured, innovation-friendly crypto regulation in the U.S.
