#USHouseMarketStructureDraft The United States House of Representatives has revealed a draft law that seeks to establish a legal framework for the digital asset market. The central purpose is to provide clear rules that:
Protect consumers
Foster technological innovation
Reinforce U.S. leadership in the crypto sector
Most relevant aspects of the project:
1. Classification of digital assets
It aims to clearly define which digital assets should be considered commodities and which would be classified as securities.
2. New regulatory approach
The project proposes to grant more authority to the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission), partially shifting the current role of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
3. Regulation of new financial technologies
Specific rules are introduced for emerging areas such as:
Decentralized finance (DeFi)
Stablecoins (cryptocurrencies with stable value, such as USDT or USDC)
