Cynthia Lummis: Clarity Act aims to protect crypto account holders in bankruptcies
Clarity Act to secure crypto assets

Cynthia Lummis, U.S. Senator, Wyoming at U.S. Senate, highlights that recent bankruptcies at crypto firms BlockFi and Genesis have exposed risks for customers. She explains that, without clear rules, account balances may be treated as unsecured claims in bankruptcy proceedings. Lummis states that the Clarity Act will ensure segregated customer assets are protected and remain the property of individuals, not the bankruptcy estate.

Lummis has previously called for transparency following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. In 2022, she noted that over 4 million people lost access to funds because of crypto bankruptcies, with thousands ending up in court disputes. Lummis has promoted the Clarity Act as a response to these cases, aiming to protect customer assets in such proceedings.
