Summary of Bill HR 3633

The bill titled "To provide for a system of regulation of the offer and sale of digital commodities by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and for other purposes" was introduced in the 119th Congress with the designation H.R. 3633 on May 29, 2025.

Congressional Summary of HR 3633

Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 or the CLARITY Act of 2025

This bill establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, defined by the bill as digital assets that rely upon a blockchain for their value.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission must generally regulate digital commodities transactions, including digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers. To qualify for trade on an exchange (1) a digital commodity’s blockchain must be mature, or on a blockchain system that has achieved decentralized control as defined by the bill; or (2) the issuer of the digital commodity must file certain reports. The bill establishes requirements for trade monitoring, recordkeeping, and the commingling of customer assets.  

The bill exempts digital commodities on mature blockchains (and digital commodities on blockchains expected to mature within certain timeframes) from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration requirements if annual sales fall under a certain amount and other requirements are met. The bill provides the SEC with jurisdiction over digital commodity activities and transactions engaged in by certain brokers and dealers on alternative trading systems and by national securities exchanges. 

Digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers are subject to the Bank Secrecy Act for anti-money laundering and related purposes.

The bill also sets forth requirements for alternative trading systems, previously issued digital commodities, and provisional registration until the bill is implemented.

This bill is so dumb, like why do they even care about regulating digital stuff? It's so stupid and pointless. I don't want them messing with my online stuff, it's none of their business. Ugh, this is just annoying.

I think this bill is good for us. It will help clarify the rules for digital assets, making it easier for people like me to understand how to invest in them. This bill will also provide more protection for consumers, which is important. I believe this bill will have a positive impact on the digital asset market and I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
