White House crypto advisor strongly supports the "Clarity Act," stating it is beneficial for regulation and law enforcement.

On June 5, according to The Block, White House Digital Asset Advisor Patrick Witt stated that the "Clarity Act" is a bill that "supports regulation and supports law enforcement," responding to criticism from law enforcement groups that it lacks sufficient strength in combating financial crimes. Witt said that in response to the concerns of law enforcement agencies, lawmakers have added new chapters to the bill. Witt pointed out that global capital flows are accelerating, and if the United States does not set standards, it will have to accept the rules of others. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that if the bill is not passed this year, it may not be reviewed again until 2030. The "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act," promoted by DeFi advocates, has been incorporated into the Senate version, clarifying that non-custodial developers are not considered money transmitters. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto therefore voted against it, believing that this provision weakens law enforcement capabilities.
