US Senate Crypto Market Structure Talks: 6 Key Sticking Points Highlight Non-SDN Blacklist, 18 U.S.C. 1960, and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act
According to @EleanorTerrett, a Politico-published closing offer outlines six unresolved items in Senate crypto market-structure negotiations, including a non-SDN blacklist and treatment of unlicensed money transmitters under 18 U.S.C. 1960 (source: Politico closing offer document; @EleanorTerrett on X). The meeting included 13 senators from both parties plus David Sacks and Patrick Witt, and attendees indicated there is still work left to do (source: @EleanorTerrett on X). The offer also references the GOP Majority Whip’s Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, which seeks to protect non-custodial software developers and codify self-custody (source: Politico closing offer document; @EleanorTerrett on X). For trading, emphasis on 18 U.S.C. 1960—central in the Roman Storm and Tornado Cash charges—underscores ongoing enforcement risk for privacy and mixing tools, while potential statutory protections for non-custodial software directly relate to DeFi infrastructure compliance exposure (source: U.S. Department of Justice Aug 2023 Tornado Cash charges; Politico closing offer document; @EleanorTerrett on X). |
