The CLARITY Act would divide crypto oversight between the SEC and CFTC
U.S. developers and investors face regulatory uncertainty that is pushing innovation offshore to Singapore and Abu Dhabi. The CLARITY Act, which passed the House in July 2025, would resolve this by dividing regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC. Decentralized blockchain assets would fall under CFTC oversight, while securities-like tokens would remain under SEC jurisdiction. The legislation would also introduce anti-money laundering requirements for exchanges and clearer compliance standards. This framework would reduce the regulatory confusion that has existed for years.
