On May 14, U.S. Senators Van Hollen and Cynthia Lummis spoke during the deliberation of the CLARITY Act regarding an amendment to add provisions addressing the money laundering risks and accountability associated with DeFi. Senator Van Hollen supported the amendment, stating that it is clear that criminals use tools like tumblers and mixers to launder money, evade law enforcement, and transfer funds. Records show that individuals linked to Iran have used mixing services and related technologies to transfer funds and evade sanctions. In some cases, it is evident that the developers of these DeFi tools intended from the outset to profit from illegal activities. They know that criminals will exploit these tools—in fact, for some of them, that is the entire purpose of developing these tools. Therefore, we must hold them accountable. Addressing the overall illegal financial risks of DeFi is not simple, but this amendment is direct, limited, and straightforward. It does one thing: it clearly states that if the purpose of releasing a DeFi protocol is to facilitate money laundering, evade sanctions, or fund terrorism, it is illegal. That’s it. If you deliberately facilitate drug dealers, fraudsters, North Korea, or Iran, you should face the consequences. Senator Cynthia Lummis spoke against the amendment, stating that under Title 18, Sections 1956 and 1957 of the U.S. Code and related sanctions laws, prosecutors can already bring charges against anyone who builds or uses software to launder criminal proceeds or evade sanctions, without needing to add a 'DeFi provision' to the bill. I only care about how specific actions are handled, but we cannot send the signal that 'software is unwelcome.' We want to integrate digital assets into the existing legal framework of the United States, not create a new one. Therefore, I oppose this amendment. The amendment was defeated with 11 votes in favor and 13 against. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) is currently undergoing line-by-line voting and debate on amendments.

On May 14, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren stated during the Senate Banking Committee's review of the CLARITY Act that the bill would expand leverage across various asset classes and regulatory frameworks, increasing systemic risk. Warren acknowledged that Amendment 115 has made some progress in protecting consumers from the dangers of the new system, but the measures are far from sufficient. She criticized the amendment for seemingly removing civil protections for cryptocurrency accounts, highlighting a fundamental paradox in the field: on one hand, more markets are being pushed into the crypto space, while on the other hand, protections for investors and recourse for victims are being eliminated. She warned that this is a misguided path that could ultimately lead to an economic collapse. The Cryptocurrency Market Structure Act (the CLARITY Act) is currently undergoing a line-by-line voting debate on the amendments.
