CLARITY Act Future Uncertain Amid Senate Deliberations

Bankers want stricter language to prevent these products from drawing deposits away from traditional banking, while crypto companies argue for fewer restrictions on rewards programs.

According to Todd Phillips, director at the Klaros Group, 'This is still a very contentious, very live issue, and I don't know where it goes from here.'
