Securities law clarity refers to the unambiguous establishment of legal rules and definitions regarding which digital assets constitute securities and are therefore subject to securities regulations. This clarity provides certainty for developers, issuers, and investors, allowing them to understand their compliance obligations and potential liabilities. The absence of such clarity often leads to regulatory uncertainty, hindering innovation and market development. Achieving this is a primary goal for the digital asset industry.
