Is August 7th the Real Deadline for the Clarity Act? | Miller Whitehouse-Levine
About this episode
Miller Whitehouse-Levine discusses the urgency of passing the Clarity Act before the August 7 deadline and the implications for crypto regulation.
The clock is ticking on the Clarity Act. In this episode, recorded at the Solana Policy Institute's Washington and Wall Street event in Chicago, SPI founder and CEO Miller Whitehouse-Levine explains why he believes August 7 is the Senate's last real opportunity to pass crypto market structure legislation this Congress and why he's grown frustrated with calls for more time after 18 months of negotiations. Miller breaks down the final hurdles standing in the bill's way, including the battle over the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), why he believes the provision is essential to protecting software developers from criminal liability, and how ongoing negotiations with law enforcement groups could shape the bill's path forward. We also discuss the growing political influence of the crypto industry, why durable legislation matters more than temporary regulatory relief, the rise of developer-focused advocacy in Washington, and what could happen to innovation in the United States if Congress fails to act before the window closes.
