Senator Cynthia Lummis

@SenLummis

Some community banks are suggesting stablecoins are driving deposit flight. The data says otherwise: BofA shows household deposits rising across income groups this year, and the FDIC reports domestic deposits grew for a seventh straight quarter. Community banks actually outperformed the industry, posting 5% deposit growth. If the worry is the Clarity Act compromise itself, that’s backwards. Section 404 bars stablecoin issuers from paying anything that functions like interest, even disguised as rewards or points, and bans marketing stablecoins as deposits or FDIC-insured. It’s actually tougher than current law, not looser. The real story behind closing community banks isn’t stablecoins. It’s consolidation: 2,000 community banks lost in a decade, only 62 new ones formed, and the buyers are super regional banks, not crypto companies. The Banking Committee already built a nine-provision community bank package into the housing bill to help with deposit retention, on top of tightening stablecoin yield rules under Clarity. Killing the Clarity Act won’t help community banks. It just protects the status quo they say is broken.

Investors need a durable digital asset regulatory framework to keep investing capital and expanding operations in the United States. As Congress works toward setting the rules of the road through the CLARITY Act, I encourage the financial regulators to continue moving full steam ahead with their existing authorities to support the crypto ecosystem here at home. The Biden years underscored the costs of inaction and regulatory uncertainty. Ultimately, CLARITY is essential to ensuring sound, responsible regulation of crypto and giving investors and innovators the confidence to bet on America for the long term.

Crypto latest: The Senate negotiations to get to August recess have snagged in part on the Clarity Act. Sources involved in the talks say Democratic leadership continues pushing to delay a procedural crypto vote. Schumer wants to give talks more time. GOP is agitating for a vote

The famously leftist, radical WSJ Editorial Board said the CLARITY Act: - is "riddled with policy land mines" - "needs changes to reduce risks to the financial system" - has loopholes "criminals could exploit... to route illicit payments." But the crypto industry wants the LARITY Act in the next 48 hours. This bill isn't ready for prime time.

America is safer and stronger when we innovate. This year, Congress passed the first major digital asset bill in American history. It's called The GENIUS Act. It's time for the Senate to build on that by passing The CLARITY Act.

Big Bank Beth @SenWarren hates President Trump so much that she’d rather have no rules of the road for the digital asset industry — leaving consumers vulnerable and law enforcement empty-handed — than take the win for consumers. Let’s get the facts straight on her “fact sheet”: 1. She claims the blind trust is a shell game. It’s not. By law (5 U.S.C. §13104(f)(3)(A) and 5 C.F.R. 2634.403), a trustee is barred from disclosing trust holdings back to the official. That’s not a loophole, it’s literally what makes a blind trust blind. Read the law for yourself below. 2. She claims $TRUMP proves the president would create new coins. But $TRUMP launched when President Trump was a private citizen. The ethics ban applies to conduct while serving. You can’t retroactively ban something that happened before the law — or the presidency — existed. That’s how the law in the Soviet Union worked, not America. 3. She acts like Trump’s adult children running WLF is some unprecedented dodge. It’s not. Federal ethics law has never imputed financial interests from adult, independent children — only spouses and minor children. That’s not new to this bill; it’s how conflict-of-interest law has worked for decades. The facts speak for themselves. Don’t fall for Liz’s lies. banking.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

This bill literally requires President Trump to divest his digital asset holdings or put them in a blind trust. It's becoming painfully clear some of my Democrat colleagues would rather let consumers lose everything if a crypto exchange fails and posture for the midterms than egislation with unprecedented ethics standards covering the President, VP, Congress, and the Federal Judiciary.

The crypto industry is hoping you won't notice as they quietly push the CLARITY Act through Congress. Masquerading as "reform," this bill does nothing to stop Trump's crypto corruption or the use of crypto by criminal networks & other bad actors. We must expose their scheme.

The Clarity Act finally answers a question crypto has asked since Howey: when does a digital asset stop being a security? By defining "ancillary assets," we're giving builders a clear path forward instead of years of regulatory guesswork that's driven innovation offshore

Right now if your brokerage fails, federal law keeps your securities out of the bankruptcy estate. If your crypto platform fails, your assets got thrown in with everyone else’s. The Clarity Act closes that gap. Segregation of customer funds means bankruptcy court, not a stakeholder squabble.
