Digital Chamber’s Carbone Says Crypto May Stop Conceding on Clarity Act

The substantive shift here is that the final text narrows protection to civil exposure only, leaving criminal liability under the unlicensed money transmitting statute untouched — a gap developers will read as the difference between a defensible business and a personal legal risk. Carbone's refusal to name a further concession marks a tonal change from an industry that has spent years trading ground for legislative movement. Whether that posture hardens into outright opposition, or simply becomes a bargaining position before the next round of drafting, is the question worth watching.
