According to the lawmaker, if there is no distinction between the asset and the securities contract, token projects that raise capital to fund development cannot move out of the securities framework once the project is decentralized.<\/p>\n<p>If passed, the bill would provide more regulatory clarity on the kind of assets that can be labeled as securities.
