The U.S. Congress has passed the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633), granting the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) jurisdiction over digital commodity markets. Approved on July 17, 2025, the Act aims to reduce regulatory uncertainty and enhance market efficiency, potentially impacting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP if classified under CFTC oversight. This legislative move is expected to increase institutional confidence and onshore trading activities.
The Act proposes exclusive CFTC jurisdiction over digital commodity spot markets while maintaining the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) role in securities regulation. Despite the potential for greater market coherence, concerns have been raised by industry figures like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who withdrew support due to perceived bans on DeFi activities and tokenized securities. The Senate will now consider the Act, with ongoing bipartisan discussions to refine its provisions.
