According to CoinDesk, Summer Mersinger, CEO of the Blockchain Association, published an article rebutting The Wall Street Journal’s misinterpretation of the Clarity Act. Mersinger noted that the bill prohibits reward mechanisms for stablecoins that equate to interest on bank deposits, but permits reward systems based on user activity; it requires the SEC to establish rules for nominally decentralized protocols, brings digital commodity brokers under Bank Secrecy Act reporting obligations, and allocates $3 billion to support state law enforcement; Section 10505 of the bill explicitly states that securities remain under SEC jurisdiction even after settlement on a blockchain.
