Coin Center Criticizes Congressional Inaction on CLARITY Bill

Coin Center Executive Director Peter Van Valkenburgh expressed concern over the lack of progress in Congress regarding the CLARITY bill, seven weeks after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's testimony. According to NS3.AI, Van Valkenburgh warned that without the passage of CLARITY, the Department of Justice could continue prosecuting developers of privacy tools under 18 U.S.C. § 1960. Additionally, he noted that the SEC, Treasury, and FinCEN might increase regulatory scrutiny on decentralized networks.
