That sentence, in plain words

A coin from a cleared maker is not a commodity. That word is defined in a law on futures trading. This line takes the coin out of it.

What this is about

A commodity is a good like oil or wheat. Trading in them has its own rule book. This says these coins do not fall under it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
