CLARITY Act Could Clear This Year, Solana Policy Institute Says—But 4 Demands Remain To Be Met
Kristin Smith, President of the Solana Policy Institute and CEO of the Blockchain Association, urged the U.S. Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, emphasizing four specific priorities must be met first. The legislation aims to provide legal clarity for public blockchain operations, focusing on protecting open-source developers and infrastructure providers who do not custody assets or control transactions. Smith argued that strong developer protections, including the key Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), enhance enforcement by clearly distinguishing between different market participants, allowing authorities to target bad actors more effectively. She warned that weakening these protections could undermine the act's goal of giving builders confidence to operate in the U.S. Smith's position is to protect developers, target bad actors, preserve open-source innovation, and maintain U.S. leadership in crypto.
