Ripple’s former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz has linked the recent CLARITY Act defeat at the White House to politicians lobbying for traditional finance. This was established on Crypto Twitter as David Schwartz shared a video clip with Sen. Josh Hawley explaining his reasoning behind the refusal.
Senators Shield Local Economy By Refusing CLARITY?
“He said the quiet part out loud. It’s about protecting bank profits.” Ripple’s Emeritus was referring to Sen. Josh Hawley & Senator Thom Tillis, as both of them switched their vote at the eleventh hour. Referring to the agriculture & farmers in his state, Senator Josh Hawley said he doesn’t want investors pulling out money from small-town banks.

Not only that affects the credit system, but Senator Hawley also sees a hazard of a state economy collapse. “We’ve got to make sure those banks stay in operation, stay competitive, and have enough capital to make loans or our Missouri economy will collapse.” On the other hand, the politician was open to revising the draft language to meet those requirements.
Why Ripple Emeritus Schwartz Isn’t Buying The Excuse
From David Schwartz’s point of view, that kind of excuse barely holds merit. He previously stated that he doesn’t believe any significant progress on the CLARITY Act would prevent small & mid-tier local banks from giving out loans to local businesses & start-ups.On the contrary, this helps people “looking for decent yield with reasonable risk to provide it”.
Senators Moran and Collins were the other two Republican Party members voting against their party line. Siding with the American Bankers Association (ABA), this puts the CLARITY Act in a grid-lock mostly due to the yield-bearing stablecoins, seen by the banking committee as an unfair advantage of the crypto industry.
Alternatively to the CLARITY Act, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and CFTC accelerate rule-making under the Trump administration’s Project Crypto initiative. Wall Street brokerage giant Bernstein called the market pull-back temporary as the freshly-made legislation gradually aligns with the disruptive technology.
