Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst pointed out that the CLARITY Act could give financial institutions greater control in the crypto market, emphasizing that reliance on centralized intermediaries could weaken the role of blockchain users, while the act clarifies the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC and protects peer-to-peer transactions and self-custody.
Ledger Asia-Pacific head Shibayama stated that if the US implements a stablecoin yield ban, international discussions would increase.
