#USHouseMarketStructureDraft

A new draft from the *U.S. House of Representatives* seeks to provide clarity on the classification of *digital commodity transactions*. According to *Forbes* journalist *Eleanor Terrett*, the draft outlines that transactions involving the sale of digital commodities will *not* be treated as securities, as long as they don't grant the buyer ownership rights to the issuer's business, profits, or assets.

This means that buying and selling digital commodities on the secondary market—rather than directly from the issuer—won't automatically trigger U.S. securities laws. However, if the sale grants ownership or claims to the company's profits or assets, it could still be classified as a security.

This draft is designed to offer clearer regulations, helping reduce uncertainty for both businesses and investors in the cryptocurrency sector.
