U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis recently tweeted about the core provisions of the "Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2026." The key innovation of the bill lies in establishing clear legal boundaries for securities and commodities, which will have a profound impact on the entire crypto asset industry.

According to Lummis, a clear classification standard can achieve two important goals: on one hand, opening up development pathways for compliant projects and allowing truly valuable innovative projects to receive policy support; on the other hand, weaving a protection net for ordinary investors by clarifying the regulatory framework to reduce investment risks.

Industry experts generally believe that this policy shift from ambiguity to clarity signals that the cryptocurrency market is gradually moving from a wild growth phase toward a regulated era. Once the bill is enacted, the establishment of clear standards will significantly reduce compliance costs, encourage more institutional applications to go live, and ultimately inject new growth momentum into the entire ecosystem.

Someone finally explained things clearly, much better than the previous ambiguous explanations.

Finally, someone has clarified that this wave of regulation is actually about building a foundation. If the Lummis bill really passes, our industry will be truly saved. Damn, someone should have clarified the distinction between securities and commodities a long time ago. Sounds good, but I'm just worried it might end up being just on paper. Lower compliance costs will encourage institutions to enter the market, and this time it might really be different. Wait, can this bill really pass after 26 years? It feels a bit uncertain.

Finally, someone has clarified the rules, otherwise this circle has always been a gray area. To be honest, clear classification is actually a big benefit for institutions; retail has already been cut enough. Lummis is indeed doing serious work, much better than some other lawmakers. Can we stop with the empty promises? 2026 is still far away... A clear boundary = more projects can go live, which is really good news for the ecosystem. Regulation is coming, and junk projects will have to run away haha. The key is implementation; there are many good-looking bills on paper. Lower compliance costs sound good, but how can small coins survive? Now it's time for projects with real fundamentals to stand out.

Damn, another bill that sounds great is coming, but it will just be exploited again later. What is Lummis bragging about now? I'll just see what kind of protection it finally offers to retail investors. Clear boundaries? Ha, laws have never been written for people like us. When institutions come, we should just run. This trick is old and tired. Standardization? Just a facade to give big capital a legal cover. Protect investors again, reduce costs—there's no such good thing in the world. It sounds good, but in the end, the big players will still dominate. I bet five bucks that NFT projects will be the first to get shut down.

Wait, can this bill really be implemented? I've been watching it for years, but it's all just talk on paper.
