The National Sheriffs’ Association warns that the CLARITY Act's Section 604 could enable criminals by exempting non-custodial DeFi software developers from key regulations. The Blockchain Association counters this, arguing law enforcement misunderstands the law, which aims to protect software developers rather than criminals.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a regulatory dispute that could alter compliance burdens for DeFi platforms, creating a compliance choice between broader law enforcement scrutiny or freer software development. This divide signals an opportunity to engage regulators now and position your compliance stance ahead of enforcement.
