US Prosecutors Propose CLARITY Changes Amid Voting Deadline
US prosecutors have proposed changes to the Comprehensive Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill (CLARITY) as voting window narrows. According to a report, the National Association of Assistant US Attorneys and the National District Attorneys Association sent a letter to the White House asking for changes in provisions regarding developers under the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
The proposed changes aim to exclude guidelines on developers that could create or expand criminal liability under Federal law. However, White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt stated that these provisions were 'not even close' to the Trump administration's position and implied they were not a result of productive negotiations.
The CLARITY Act has faced pushback from many Democrats over ethics rules in the bill regarding US President Donald Trump's crypto investments, which netted him $1.4 billion in 2025. The Senate Majority Leader John Thune had not scheduled a vote on the legislation before the chamber breaks for state work periods.
