Administration officials hosted law enforcement representatives at the White House on June 10 to address concerns about Section 604 of the CLARITY Act. The provision would shield many software developers from money-transmitter rules while keeping exchanges and hosted wallets under compliance requirements. Discussions centered on whether broad protections could hinder prosecutions of crypto-related crimes.

The Senate Banking Committee plans to mark up the CLARITY Act next week, but Democratic demands for conflict-of-interest rules and banking opposition to stablecoin rewards threaten to derail the effort. Negotiators reached a compromise on stablecoin yields earlier this month, yet banks argue the language still permits evasion. A long-delayed vote on the bill, which aims to clarify digital asset oversight between the SEC and CFTC, now hangs in the balance.
