CLARITY Act vote on 15 January set to reshape U.S. crypto market structure

On Thursday, 15 January, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on the CLARITY Act, a comprehensive crypto market structure bill. The proposal would clearly define digital commodities and digital assets, grant the CFTC control over digital commodity spot markets, and leave securities-like oversight with the SEC. If approved, it could tighten rules on market manipulation, require stronger transparency from exchanges, and potentially draw more institutional capital into U.S. crypto markets.
