Cynthia Lummis: Clarity Act places digital asset exchanges under U.S. bank secrecy rules
Clarity Act expands regulation for crypto

Cynthia Lummis, U.S. Senator at U.S. Senate, highlights that the Clarity Act will classify digital asset exchanges and brokers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act.

She states that her bill will make anti-money laundering programs and customer due diligence requirements enforceable obligations for these entities, rather than merely voluntary suggestions.

Lummis has previously emphasized the importance of protecting customers in crypto exchange bankruptcies. In an earlier statement, she said the Clarity Act would prioritize consumer assets during insolvency proceedings. The bill continues to be a focus of her regulatory efforts in the digital asset sector.
