In this analysis, Montague Law breaks down the initiative’s key pillars, what it means for token issuers and DeFi builders, and why this could mark the beginning of a more coherent, innovation-friendly legal framework for crypto in the U.S.
The Clarity Act of 2025 is poised to become one of the most transformative crypto regulatory frameworks ever proposed in the United States. For the first time, Congress has created a formal legal path for blockchain tokens to shed their “security” label and emerge as fully tradable “digital commodities.” This two-part analysis explores how token issuers can benefit from the Act’s new safe harbors, definitions, and exemptions—and what it means for developers, exchanges, and DeFi protocols navigating today’s regulatory minefield.
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (H.R. 3633) introduces the first comprehensive U.S. framework for regulating crypto assets, clarifying when a token is a security or a commodity—and which agency has jurisdiction.
