00:00CLARITY ACT, THE REGULATORY LINE
00:05One central question in this debate is whether a digital asset, or the transaction around
00:10it, falls under securities rules, or under a separate digital commodity framework.
00:17Securities are generally overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission, much like a stock.
00:23Digital commodities would fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, more like oil
00:29or gold. But the line isn't always clean. Even a digital commodity's own offer or sale can still
00:37count as a security transaction under existing law. The CLARITY ACT was an attempt to draw that
00:43boundary more clearly for crypto in federal law. Full recap, tap the related video.
