CoinFeed reported on April 9th ​​that, according to Politico, the US Senate is divided over a key crypto bill's "developer liability exemption" clause. This clause, within the framework of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, aims to exempt developers of non-custodial DeFi software from registering as "transferors of funds" and fulfilling anti-money laundering obligations if they do not control user funds. Law enforcement groups such as the National Sheriffs’ Association and the National District Attorneys Association have written to Congress arguing that this move will weaken the ability to combat financial crime and create a regulatory vacuum.
