Trump Backs CLARITY Act for Unrestricted Crypto Future; SEC and CFTC Classify 18 Assets as Commodities

BTC0.14%
ETH0.25%
SOL-0.13%

According to Trump's Truth Social post today (May 29), the President backed the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY), arguing it would secure the long-term future of the cryptocurrency industry in the U.S. and prevent future administrations from dismantling pro-crypto policies.

Separately, on May 14, the SEC and CFTC jointly released a 68-page document classifying 18 digital assets—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Litecoin—as commodities. The move indicates regulators are independently building regulatory frameworks even as the CLARITY Act awaits final Senate approval.
