The Market Updates

This is one of the most important attempts yet to write clear rules for crypto in the US, instead of forcing everything into old laws.

Right now, crypto lives in confusion:

• No one knows who regulates what
• SEC and CFTC keep fighting
• Projects don’t know how to launch legally
• Investors don’t know what is safe

This bill tries to fix all of that.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇

1. IT FINALLY DEFINES WHO REGULATES CRYPTO.

Right now: SEC says everything is a security and CFTC says crypto is a commodity.

This bill splits them clearly:

• Securities → SEC
• Commodities → CFTC

2. IT CREATES A NEW ASSET TYPE CALLED ANCILLARY ASSETS.

This is huge.

Most crypto tokens are not stocks. They don’t give ownership in a company. They give access to a network.

So the bill says: These tokens are not securities. They are ancillary assets. Meaning they are not treated like shares, they don’t need IPO style rules. But they still need transparency.

This protects innovation without killing projects.

3. IT FORCES REAL PROJECT DISCLOSURES.

Projects must clearly show:

• Who is building it ?
• How tokens are created ?
• Who owns how much ?
• How the system works ?
• What risks exist ?
• How governance works ?

No vague whitepapers.

4. BIG FUNDRAISERS MUST SHOW AUDITED DATA.

If a project raises serious money(25M+):
• They must show audited financials
• They must prove funds are real
• They must show how money is used

This kills fake treasuries and paper numbers.

5. IT PROTECTS DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS.

Right now: One tweet can get you sued.

This bill says: Builders can talk about roadmaps, features, development plans.

As long as they are honest.

This removes fear from innovation.

6. IT CREATES A LEGAL PATH FOR DECENTRALIZATION.

Projects can start centralized. Then slowly decentralize.

Once sufficiently decentralized:
• They stop being treated like securities
• Regulation becomes lighter

This is massive for Ethereum type networks.

7. IT REGULATES EXCHANGES PROPERLY.

Crypto exchanges must:

• Register
• Separate user funds from company funds
• Follow custody rules
• Follow market surveillance
• Prevent wash trading

This makes crypto trading closer to stock markets.

8. IT BANS WASH TRADING AND FAKE VOLUME.

Wash trading becomes illegal. Fake liquidity becomes criminal.

This directly protects retail traders.

9. IT CRIMINALIZES SPOOFING AND FRONT-RUNNING.

No more fake buy/sell walls. No more insider order abuse. No more exchange manipulation.

This brings fairness.

10. IT INTRODUCES PROOF OF RESERVES.

Exchanges must show:
• They actually hold user funds
• Regular verification
• Transparency

This directly targets FTX style failures.

11. IT BRINGS DEFI INTO FINANCIAL PLANNING.

DeFi is now officially:
• Part of financial infrastructure
• Part of cybersecurity planning
• Part of systemic risk monitoring

What this bill really means:

Crypto is moving from chaos, lawsuits, regulatory fear, grey areas to defined laws, clear categories, real protections, and institutional access.
