Special thanks and recognition go to @coincenter, @valkenburgh, and @SenLummis for their leadership on this issue and their years-long effort to ensure protections for developers. BRCA is an indisputable win for innovation and the right to code

Coin Center is encouraged by the advancement of the Clarity Act through the Senate Banking Committee with the BRCA included. As it heads to the floor, there may be a push to make concessions; the BRCA cannot be one of them. coincenter.org/the-brca-survi…

It's shockingly disappointing that no journalists have questioned ECB President Lagarde on her idea to use the digital euro for sanctions evasion.

BRCA is the most important piece of CLARITY
Peter Van Valkenburgh@valkenburgh
HUGE. Looks like we got a non-partisan vote out of Senate Banking with the BRCA still intact. I'm thrilled. The last minute compromise reflects Coin Center's analysis from last January, there were some steps forward since then and then back but we are feeling very comfortable.

After 10+ years of fighting for developer protections, today is the single most important day to amplify @valkenburgh and @coincenter

I'm still piecing final compromise together. I think certain cross references to the BRCA in Title 3 have been struck. I liked those refs but believed they were aggressive and jeopardized bipartisan support for BRCA. Coin Center was ready to support without them last January.

For decades, the U.S. has counted on banks to identify suspicious activity and fight financial crime. That requires tens of thousands of employees and countless hours. Crypto companies don't have the same obligations. And it shows. 🧵

🚨NEW: Negotiations between a small group of bipartisan senators aimed at getting Democrats to a better place on at least two outstanding Clarity Act issues wrapped for the night without a deal, I’m told. In a statement, one of the lead GOP negotiators, @SenLummis, said:
“Ultimately, we have agreement on 99% of the bill. I hope my colleagues across the aisle will work with me to get the remaining 1% resolved after we pass this bill out of committee. Otherwise, when or if another FTX happens, we will have no one to blame but ourselves.”
Democrats like @SenAdamSchiff and @SenRubenGallego had been pushing to reach a compromise on ethics/conflicts of interest involving the First Family ahead of tomorrow’s markup as a condition of their support for the bill, while other Democrats voiced eleventh-hour concerns about provisions tied to the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), which would prevent non-custodial software developers from being prosecuted under money transmitter laws.
It’s my understanding that meaningful progress was made on ethics, but last minute disagreements over BRCA changes ultimately prevented a deal from coming together.
Of course, it’s still unclear how the five pro-crypto Democrats on the Banking Committee will ultimately vote tomorrow, but as of now, the expectation is that the markup will be partisan.

I don't care about stablecoin interest: protecting open source developers from prosecution because of what others do is the most important part of the Clarity act.
Peter Van Valkenburgh@valkenburgh
Let me make one more thing crystal clear. We do not support Clarity with the stripped version of BRCA proposed by Sen. Cortez Masto. For other members of the committee, this is a with us or against us moment. Stand up for developer rights or vote no.
