House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill introduced the CLARITY Act, a bill focused on establishing a regulatory framework for crypto assets in the U.S.
Co-sponsored by eight members of Congress from both parties, the CLARITY Act aims to provide transparency and protection within the digital asset ecosystem.
The bill mandates transparency for crypto firms by requiring disclosures to clients and keeping customer funds separate from company assets to avoid conflicts of interest.
The CLARITY Act also clarifies the roles of the SEC and CFTC in regulating digital assets, aiming to create a safer environment for consumers and facilitate growth in digital asset projects.
