Tom Emmer, the U.S. House Majority Whip, directly refuted judicial authorities' concerns about crypto developer protection provisions, calling them a 'distraction.' In an interview with CoinDesk, Representative Emmer strongly advocated for the 'Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA),' which exempts DeFi software developers without custodial authority from money transmitter regulations. He argued that regulating developers who do not directly hold funds is unfair, and that varying regulations across states hinder innovation. He emphasized that the 'Clarity Act,' which passed the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan support, will enhance the global competitiveness of the U.S. digital asset market. He also stated that a 'light-touch' approach, which reduces the authority of regulatory agencies, should be pursued, and he predicted that the bill would soon pass Congress and receive approval from President Trump.
