Securities Clarity Act of 2025

This bill, known as the "Securities Clarity Act of 2025," proposes to amend several existing securities laws by explicitly excluding a new category of assets, termed "investment contract assets," from the definition of a security. The primary goal is to provide regulatory clarity for certain digital assets that are currently subject to ambiguity under federal securities regulations. An "investment contract asset" is precisely defined as a fungible digital representation of value that can be exclusively possessed and transferred directly between individuals without needing an intermediary. These assets must be recorded on a cryptographically secured public distributed ledger and are sold or intended to be sold pursuant to an investment contract, provided they are not otherwise classified as a security. The proposed amendments would apply to the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970. By removing these specific digital assets from the definition of a security, the bill seeks to alter their regulatory oversight under these foundational financial statutes.
