Contrary to earlier predictions, Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott has hinted that the CLARITY Act markup might not take place this month. This happened as he listed three major obstacles that they might not be able to overcome before April.
The senator stated in an interview on FOX Business’s “Mornings with Maria” that he was unable to provide a specific date for the markup of the cryptocurrency bill because there are three important concerns that need to be resolved.
The conflict between banks and the cryptocurrency sector over stablecoin payouts was the first topic he brought up. According to the Senate Banking chair, they should be able to find a solution to the stablecoin incentives problem in the next two weeks.
In an effort to address this problem, Senator Thom Tillis, a member of the Banking Committee, plans to publish the stablecoin yield wording in the CLARITY Act this week, according to CoinGape.
Senator Tim Scott brought up the DeFi piece as the second problem, pointing out that they must make sure it is in place. Within the next two weeks, he claimed, they may find a solution.
It’s important to note that law enforcement organisations and cryptocurrency stakeholders are now at odds over the clause that references the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA).
Crypto creators of DeFi and DEX platforms are shielded from liability for any illegal action carried out by protocol users by the BRCA section of the CLARITY Act.
These law enforcement organisations contend, however, that such a clause will make it more difficult to combat financial crime.
The third issue, according to the Senate Banking chair, is getting all Republicans on board and making sure they understand the CLARITY Act. He mentioned that it might take a few more weeks to fix this problem.
Obtaining the backing of every Republican on the committee is crucial, particularly since if all Democrats oppose the crypto bill, they might have to move it across party lines. Scott expressed hope that by the summer, all of the CLARITY Act’s problems will have been fixed.
