CLARITY Act Aims to Clarify US Cryptocurrency Regulation

The CLARITY Act is a proposed US cryptocurrency market structure bill that aims to establish a federal framework for how digital assets are issued, traded, and regulated in the United States.

The bill has been moving through Congress since mid-2025, but analysts are divided on whether it will be signed into law by the end of 2026.

The CLARITY Act is designed to create a clearer rulebook for crypto, addressing regulatory confusion that has arisen from digital assets not fitting neatly into existing categories.

The bill classifies digital assets into four main categories: digital commodities, stablecoins, tokenized securities, and investment contracts.
