The U.S. House of Representatives discusses a new draft daily regarding market structure, aiming to clarify the classification of digital commodity transactions. As Eleanor Terrett, a journalist at Forbes, noted, the draft specifies on page 49 that transactions involving the sale of digital commodities are not considered securities, provided that they do not grant the buyer ownership rights in the issuer's business, profits, or assets. In short, buying and selling digital commodities in the secondary market, instead of purchasing directly from the issuer, will not automatically trigger U.S. securities laws unless the sale grants ownership or rights in the company's profits or assets.
