The post Coin Center Protects Crypto Developers with BRCA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The crypto industry lobby group Coin Center has demanded the passage of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) bill in a letter sent to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. The bill aims to prevent crypto developers and infrastructure providers who do not control user funds from being classified as money transmitters under federal law. First introduced in 2018 by Representative Tom Emmer, the latest version of the bill was prepared by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ron Wyden. Source: Coin Center Coin Center policy director Jason Somensatto stated in the letter that blockchain innovation cannot develop under the threat of prosecution and emphasized that crypto developers should have the same legal protections as internet service providers. This call coincides with the conviction last year of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm and Samourai Wallet founders Keonne Rodriguez (5 years in prison) and Will Lonergan Hill (4 years in prison) on unlicensed money transmission charges. Storm’s sentence is pending. Weakening the BRCA could push well-intentioned developers out of the U.S. How Will the BRCA Bill Change Crypto Regulation?
