The U.S. House passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, reattaching the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, before Senate review, in Washington, marking a major legislative step.
This legislative action could reshape U.S. crypto regulation, securing more certainty for digital assets, boosting consumer protection while reducing compliance risks for crypto platforms and DeFi protocols.
The U.S. House recently approved the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025. This includes reattaching the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act as an amendment, marking a significant step for digital asset regulation in the U.S.
Key figures, such as Rep. French Hill, played pivotal roles in passing this legislation. The Act assigns oversight roles to the CFTC and SEC, clarifying regulatory pathways for digital assets and benefiting exchange operations. As French Hill stated,
Today, Republicans and Democrats came together to pass landmark legislation that ensures America’s leadership in digital assets and protects consumer interests in this emerging space.
The Act sets a provisional registration for exchanges and brokers, potentially attracting more institutional investment. It clarifies the classification of stablecoins, providing certainty for operators like USDC. Analysts focus on the jurisdictional split between the SEC and CFTC, enabling clearer operational paths for entities in DeFi. This echoes previous, albeit unsuccessful, legislative attempts to define and organize digital asset oversight.
Expert opinions suggest this Act could encourage growth in U.S. DeFi initiatives under a safer regulatory environment. The clarified roles and provisions aim to ensure consumer protection and support the nation’s leadership in the digital asset sector.
