Breaking: US House Approves Landmark CLARITY Act

by Ouess

In a major step toward crypto regulatory clarity, the US House passed the CLARITY Act after days of intense debate during “Crypto Week.” This groundbreaking legislation finally provides clear rules for digital assets in America.

What the CLARITY Act Does

The bill establishes crucial definitions and frameworks:
✔ Security vs Commodity Classification: Clear rules for when tokens qualify as securities (SEC oversight) or commodities (CFTC oversight)
✔ “Mature Blockchain” Status: Projects can reduce regulatory burdens by proving sufficient decentralization
✔ New Exchange Categories: Creates CFTC-registered platforms with strict custody and transparency rules
✔ $75M Safe Harbor: Exempts smaller digital commodity issuers from heavy regulations

Key Consumer Protections

  • Self-custody rights affirmed
  • National standards override conflicting state laws
  • Regular disclosures required for issuers

What Happens Next?

The bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. While the Trump administration supports it, some Democrats worry about reducing SEC authority.

If passed:

  • Implementation would begin in 2026
  • SEC & CFTC would draft detailed rules
  • Follows the GENIUS Act (stablecoin regulation) passed earlier

This represents the most comprehensive US crypto legislation to date, offering long-sought clarity for exchanges, projects, and investors.
