Crypto Industry Heavyweights Urge Senate to Pass Clarity Act With Developer Protections Intact

Over 60 cryptocurrency industry leaders, including executives from Coinbase, a16z crypto, and Uniswap, urged Senate leaders to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act with protections for blockchain developers intact. The letter emphasized Section 604 (BRCA) of the bill, which shields non-controlling developers from federal money transmission prosecution, as critical to sustaining U.S. blockchain innovation. The bill passed the House in July 2025 and cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026 but remains pending in the full Senate.
