#USHouseMarketStructureDraft
The #USHouseMarketStructureDraft project is a draft of a new law from the U.S. House of Representatives aimed at regulating the digital asset market (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum) by establishing a clear legal framework.
Project Goals:
1. Defining the Regulatory Authority:
It clarifies who is responsible for regulating digital currencies:
SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) for assets considered securities.
CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) for assets considered commodities.
2. Classifying Digital Assets:
Digital assets are classified based on their degree of decentralization.
Fully decentralized assets can be considered "digital commodities," not securities.
3. Protecting Innovation:
It allows existing projects to gain clear legal status without hindering their development.
4. Regulating Secondary Markets:
It provides rules for trading digital assets on platforms and public markets.
Political Background:
The project is supported by the Republican Party.
Some members of the Democratic Party oppose it, arguing that it may grant excessive protection to cryptocurrency companies without stringent regulation.
