The House Financial Services Committee released a new discussion draft of its crypto market structure legislation on Monday—and the current version of the bill would amend American securities laws to exempt most top digital assets from the SEC’s oversight. The latest bill draft would add key language to numerous foundational securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that would formally exclude “digital commodities” from the definition of security, and thus, SEC purview. The bill goes on to define digital commodities in such a way that appears to apply to many of crypto’s most…
