[White House Crypto Advisor Backs Clarity Act, Calls It Beneficial for Regulation and Enforcement] Odaily Planet Daily News – White House Chief Crypto Advisor Patrick Witt stated that the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the *Clarity Act*, is a 'pro-regulation, pro-enforcement' bill, countering criticisms from some enforcement agencies that it is insufficient to prevent financial crimes. With midterm elections approaching, the window for Congress to pass the bill is narrowing. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that if progress is not made this year, the bill may not be seriously revisited until after 2030. Currently, the *Clarity Act* faces multiple controversies, including issues surrounding stablecoin yield arrangements, conflicts of interest related to Trump-associated crypto businesses, and whether anti-money laundering standards are stringent enough. The latest version also incorporates the *Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act* (BRCA), pushed by DeFi advocates, which aims to clarify that non-custodial developers should not be classified as money transmitters. However, some enforcement groups and lawmakers are concerned that the BRCA and certain provisions of the bill could weaken the ability to trace illicit funds and recover assets for victims. Witt stated that legislators have addressed these concerns ahead of the Senate Banking Committee vote by adding provisions to strengthen the foundation for regulation and enforcement. (The Block)
