Lummis Says CLARITY Act Updates Could Strengthen Protections for DeFi Developers

On March 27, 2026, Senator Cynthia Lummis said amendments to the CLARITY Act would make it the "strongest protection" yet for DeFi and non-custodial software developers. She pushed back on warnings that Title 3 could still expose protocol builders to money-transmitter rules such as Bank Secrecy Act compliance. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to review the bill in April.
