It excludes DeFi trading protocols and messaging systems from traditional financial regulations, provided they do not custody or exercise discretion over user funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bill also prohibits the Treasury or FinCEN from issuing rules restricting individuals\u2019 ability to self-custody crypto through wallets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Kickstarting the legislative process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The committees scheduled a joint hearing for May 6, titled \u201cAmerican Innovation and the Future of Digital Assets: A Blueprint for the 21st Century,\u201d to begin formal legislative discussions and gather stakeholder input.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The draft includes provisions for joint rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC, alongside studies on DeFi, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and blockchain infrastructure through expanded innovation offices at federal agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By establishing legal definitions and clear jurisdictional lines, the proposed bill seeks to end crypto regulation uncertainty in the US while encouraging responsible development and oversight of digital asset markets.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Financial Services and Agriculture Committee leaders published a discussion draft outlining a federal crypto framework to regulate the industry in the US on May 5.
