Senator Cynthia Lummis said she is pleased with the updated bill and expects further talks on ethics and other provisions.
Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), a lead negotiator on the Crypto Clarity Act, expressed satisfaction with the updated version of the bill released recently. However, she noted that further discussions are needed on ethics and other provisions before the legislation can move forward.
In an interview with CoinDesk, Lummis said she was 'pleased' that the revised bill was ready for release. The legislation aims to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets, a topic of increasing urgency as cryptocurrencies gain mainstream adoption.
Key Areas of Discussion
