Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that the Democrats previously sought to lower the annual funding cap under the Regulation Crypto framework from $75 million to $50 million and to add a $200 million lifetime funding cap, both of which the Republicans have accepted and incorporated into the CLARITY Act. Lummis also criticized the Democrats for ultimately voting against these rules—previously advocated by them—that were designed to enhance retail investor protection.
