If the provisions in Section 604 can be preserved, it means leaving an open path for the open-source community—a code is speech, and regulators must not go beyond their bounds.

CoinWorld news, Senator Ron Wyden has called on congressional leaders to retain legal protections for non-custodial blockchain developers in the CLARITY Act. In a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Democratic Leader Charles Schumer, he urged Congress to preserve Section 604, known as the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). Wyden stated that this provision would enable law enforcement to focus on unlicensed money transmitters while providing legal certainty for software developers. He argued that the provision is consistent with current policies of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, rather than creating new exemptions.
