[U.S. Senate Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill's Protection for DeFi Developers Opposed by Law Enforcement Groups] Reported by Golden Finance on April 8, according to POLITICO, multiple law enforcement groups, including the National Sheriffs' Association and the National District Attorneys Association, have recently sent letters to members of Congress opposing a provision in the Senate Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill that protects DeFi software developers from being classified as money transmitters. They argue that this provision would weaken law enforcement's ability to combat financial crimes. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Senator Cynthia Lummis insist that the provision must remain unchanged, and the cryptocurrency industry has also made it clear that it will not accept modifications to the substantive text. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and others have called for adjustments to the wording. Whether the bill can gain bipartisan support and advance to committee review after Congress reconvenes remains uncertain.
