The Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, a major effort to streamify the country's cryptocurrency rules, has stalled in the Senate and is being criticized by major parts of the crypto industry. The bill aims to clearly divide oversight between the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which determines which digital assets count as "securities" and which are "commodities".
