Two U.S. Senators from Major Parties Propose Outlining Legal Liability for Crypto Developers

2 hours ago

On January 13, Decrypt reported that U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ron Wyden have reintroduced a bipartisan bill aimed at clarifying when cryptocurrency developers and infrastructure providers would qualify as money transmitters under federal law. Dubbed the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, the legislation seeks to distinguish blockchain software creators and maintainers from financial intermediaries that control customer funds. Under the proposal, developers and infrastructure providers would be excluded from the federal money transmitter definition if they lack the legal right or unilateral ability to move users’ digital assets. Lummis noted that developers who only write code and maintain open-source infrastructure should not be classified as money transmitters—so long as they do not touch, control, or access users’ funds. Wyden added that applying the same rules to code writers as to exchanges or brokers is technically unfeasible and could infringe on privacy and free speech rights.

January 13: U.S. December CPI data is set for release at 21:30 tonight. The market broadly expects the inflation reading to reflect persistent price pressures while remaining below the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Per a composite survey from Bloomberg and FactSet: - Headline CPI: +0.3% month-over-month, +2.7% year-over-year (forecast) - Core CPI (excluding volatile food/energy): +0.3% month-over-month, +2.7% year-over-year (forecast) While the Cleveland Fed’s Nowcast model projects a slightly softer core CPI (0.22% month-over-month), mainstream Wall Street consensus is that inflation has not cooled meaningfully.

**Jan. 13: Sen. Cynthia Lummis Posts on X Re: Bipartisan Digital Asset Bill** Sen. Cynthia Lummis announced Wednesday (Jan. 13) on X that her team has finalized a bipartisan bill text—slated for consideration this Thursday—focused on digital assets. In her post, she urged Democratic colleagues not to backtrack on progress made, emphasizing the *Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act* will give the industry the regulatory certainty it needs to keep innovation stateside and protect consumers. ### Notes on U.S. language habits: - Uses **Jan. 13** (abbreviated date, common in U.S. media/quick updates) - Replaces "on U.S. shores" with **stateside** (casual, widely used U.S. shorthand for "in the U.S.") - Simplifies "finalized a bipartisan bill text that will be considered on Thursday" to **slated for consideration this Thursday** (concise, matches U.S. news tone) - Keeps the bill title italicized (standard for U.S. legislative text references) - Uses **
