Sen. Cynthia Lummis criticized Democrats over the proposed CLARITY Act, saying crypto issuers could avoid accountability by signing away obligations in contract fine print.

Lummis said Democrats voted against closing loopholes in the bill. The proposal aims to establish clear regulatory guidelines for crypto issuers and prevent ambiguous contract obligations from being used to evade securities-law requirements.

She has also tied the bill to U.S. anti-money-laundering compliance in a separate dispute over examinations for crypto firms.
