U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that Democrats have withdrawn their demand to prohibit chief compliance officers from holding concurrent positions at affiliated crypto entities under the CLARITY Act. The provision was previously included in the legislation at the insistence of Democratic lawmakers but is now deemed unnecessary by the same party. The reversal marks a shift in negotiations over compliance standards within the pending crypto market structure bill. Lummis highlighted the contradiction on X, noting that Democrats originally wrote the restriction into the act before reversing their position.
