CLARITY Act
Definition
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (CLARITY Act), formally H.R. 3633 in the 119th U.S. Congress, is a bipartisan bill sponsored by Rep. French Hill (R-AR) that establishes a regulatory framework for digital assets, defining 'digital commodities' as blockchain-based assets primarily overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while clarifying the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s role for securities.
It aims to resolve jurisdictional overlaps between the CFTC and SEC in crypto markets by requiring blockchain maturity standards, anti-money laundering compliance, and protections for customer assets on exchanges and brokers.
