CLARITY Act 2026: How Larecoin's Commodity Status Slashes Your Merchant Interchange Fees by 50%

The Game Just Changed for Merchant Payments

The CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633) passed. Digital commodities now operate under CFTC oversight. Securities fall under SEC jurisdiction.

Larecoin sits squarely in commodity territory.

Here's what that means for your bottom line: 50% lower interchange fees compared to legacy payment rails. Not a typo. Half the cost.

Traditional card networks charge 2-3% per transaction. Larecoin's commodity classification eliminates intermediary banking layers. You keep more revenue. Your customers pay less.

Why Commodity Status Matters for Your Business

Digital assets classified as commodities bypass securities regulations. No registration requirements. No custody restrictions that plague security tokens.

Larecoin operates on decentralized infrastructure. The CFTC framework recognizes this. Validators and nodes process transactions without centralized gatekeepers.

Key Benefits:

• Direct peer-to-peer settlement

• No banking intermediaries

• Cross-border payments without correspondent banks

• Real-time finality on LareBlocks Layer 1

• Self-custody for merchants and consumers

Legacy systems require multiple parties: issuing banks, acquiring banks, card networks, payment processors. Each takes a cut. Each adds latency.

Larecoin removes these layers. Commodity status legally protects this architecture.

The 50% Fee Reduction Breakdown

Traditional payment processing costs stack up:

• Interchange fees: 1.5-2.5%

• Assessment fees: 0.13-0.15%

• Payment processor markup: 0.2-0.5%

• Monthly gateway fees: $10-30

• Chargeback fees: $15-25 per dispute

Total merchant cost: 2.5-3.5% plus fixed fees.

Larecoin merchant processing:

• Network fee: 0.8-1.2% (covers validator rewards)

• No assessment fees (no card network)

• No processor markup (direct settlement)

• No monthly gateway fees (self-hosted integration)

• NFT receipt system (eliminates chargeback fraud)

Total merchant cost: 0.8-1.2% with zero fixed fees.

For a business processing $100,000 monthly, that's $1,500-2,000 saved every month. $18,000-24,000 annually.

Scale that to enterprise volume. The savings become transformational.

NFT Receipts: The Chargeback Killer

Every Larecoin transaction generates an NFT receipt. Immutable. Timestamped. Cryptographically verified.

Disputes become obsolete. The blockchain proves purchase, delivery, and acceptance. No he-said-she-said. No costly arbitration.

NFT Receipt Features:

• Product metadata embedded

• Delivery confirmation tracked

• Warranty terms encoded

• Return policy automated

• Resale royalties programmable

Chargebacks cost merchants $125 per incident on average. Larecoin's NFT receipts cut this liability to near-zero.

The CLARITY Act protects this innovation. NFTs qualify as distinct digital commodities. Your receipt system operates under clear regulatory guidelines.

LUSD Stablecoin: Price Stability Meets Low Fees

Cryptocurrency volatility scares merchants. Valid concern. Larecoin solved it.

LUSD stablecoin pegs 1:1 with USD. Collateralized. Audited. Redeemable.

Merchants accept payments in LARE or LUSD. Instant conversion at point of sale. Zero slippage. No volatility risk.

LUSD Advantages:

• Same low fee structure as LARE

• Commodity classification under CLARITY Act

• No bank account freezes

• 24/7/365 settlement

• Global acceptance without forex spreads

Traditional stablecoin processors charge 1-2% for conversion. LUSD integration on LareBlocks costs 0.3-0.5%. Again, massive savings.

Your accountant loves this. Revenue in dollars. Costs in fractions.

LareBlocks Layer 1: Security Through Self-Custody

Your keys. Your crypto. Your control.

LareBlocks Layer 1 enables merchant self-custody. No third-party wallet providers. No counterparty risk. No account freezes.

The CLARITY Act explicitly protects self-custody rights for commodities. Regulators can't seize funds without due process. You maintain sovereign control.

Security Features:

• Multi-signature wallets

• Hardware wallet integration

• Cold storage protocols

• Time-locked transactions

• Smart contract auditing

NOWPayments and CoinPayments hold merchant funds in custodial wallets. You trust their security. You trust their compliance. You trust their solvency.

Larecoin eliminates that trust requirement. LareBlocks gives you direct blockchain access. Your inventory syncs with your wallet. Sales trigger automatic settlements.

No waiting for batched payouts. No minimum withdrawal amounts. No "business day" delays.

Instant. Final. Yours.

AI-Powered Metaverse Shopping Experience

Larecoin integrates AI agents into virtual storefronts. Customers browse your metaverse shop. AI assistants answer questions. Product recommendations personalize in real-time.

Checkout happens seamlessly with LARE or LUSD. NFT receipts mint automatically. Digital goods deliver instantly.

Metaverse Commerce Benefits:

• Zero physical infrastructure costs

• Global reach without shipping

• 24/7 automated sales

• Virtual try-before-you-buy

• Gamified loyalty programs

The CLARITY Act clarifies that virtual goods purchased with digital commodities operate under established property rights. Your metaverse sales enjoy the same legal protections as physical commerce.

Traditional payment processors struggle with virtual goods. Credit card networks flag digital transactions as high-risk. Chargebacks run rampant.

Larecoin's NFT receipt system eliminates this friction. Virtual purchases become verifiable property transfers. Blockchain proof replaces trust-based systems.

Larecoin vs. Legacy Crypto Payment Processors

NOWPayments:

• Custodial wallet required

• 0.5% fee + network costs

• Limited self-custody options

• Standard chargeback exposure

• No native metaverse integration

CoinPayments:

• Third-party custody model

• 0.5% + withdrawal fees

• Multi-day settlement windows

• Traditional receipt systems

• No AI shopping assistants

Larecoin:

• Full self-custody on LareBlocks

• 0.8-1.2% all-inclusive

• Instant settlement finality

• NFT receipt protection

• Integrated AI metaverse platform

The difference compounds. NOWPayments and CoinPayments bolt crypto onto legacy infrastructure. Larecoin built payment rails natively on blockchain architecture.

One adapts old systems. The other innovates from first principles.

The CLARITY Act rewards innovation. Commodity status flows to genuinely decentralized networks. Legacy processors face continued uncertainty about custody rules and securities classification.

Larecoin operates with regulatory clarity. Your business benefits from legal certainty.

Implementation Takes Minutes, Not Months

Traditional merchant account applications require:

• Business registration documents

• Tax ID verification

• Bank account validation

• Credit checks

• 2-6 week approval process

Larecoin merchant setup requires:
