The US House of Representatives has introduced a market structure discussion draft aimed at clarifying regulatory treatment for digital commodities. The proposal aligns with broader efforts to foster cryptocurrency innovation, explicitly stating that secondary market transactions involving digital commodities will not be classified as securities—provided they confer no ownership stake in the issuer.

This legislative move seeks to eliminate ambiguity around crypto transactions, particularly for assets traded between third parties rather than directly issued. By drawing a clear line between securities and commodities, the draft could accelerate institutional adoption and market liquidity.
