🇺🇸 U.S. House Introduces Landmark Crypto Regulation Bill
On May 29, 2025, bipartisan lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives unveiled the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, aiming to establish a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
Key Provisions:
Regulatory Clarity: Defines the roles of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in overseeing digital assets.
Investor Protection: Mandates that crypto dealers and brokers segregate customer funds from their own and disclose any conflicts of interest.
Legal Precedent: Aligns with the SEC vs. Ripple case, suggesting that secondary market transactions may not be classified as securities, even if the initial sale was.
Industry advocates, including Stand with Crypto, have praised the bill as a significant step toward structured crypto regulation. While a similar bill passed the House previously but stalled in the Senate, this new proposal is expected to proceed to hearings soon.
📢 Implications:
This legislation could pave the way for increased institutional investment and innovation in the U.S. crypto market by providing much-needed regulatory clarity.
