U.S. Senate intensifies closed-door talks on CLARITY Act: aims to clarify that non-custodial software developers will not bear legal liability for third-party use of their code

CoinFeed June 20 news, according to Cryptoinamerica, with only two weeks left before the U.S. Congress recess on July 4, senators are stepping up behind-the-scenes negotiations to push the CLARITY Act to a full Senate vote as soon as possible after the recess. Sources say bipartisan senators will meet this week on disputed provisions to discuss contentious content, importantly including clarifying that non-custodial software developers 'should not bear legal liability for third-party use of their code if they did not knowingly participate in illegal uses.' Previously, law enforcement agencies worried that this provision could weaken the ability to hold accountable illegal activities on-chain. Industry insiders point out that as the legislative window gradually narrows, the CLARITY Act is entering a critical juncture. If it cannot be advanced before August, the process may be further delayed under the influence of the election cycle.
