DeFi groups push back on CLARITY Act amendments ahead of key Senate hearings in January 2026

DeFi Education Fund has raised concerns over eight CLARITY Act amendments submitted by several U.S. senators, arguing they would undermine DeFi technology, software developers, and self-custody. The group is urging lawmakers to reject proposals from Senators Reed, Kim, Cortez Masto, and Warren that would expand Treasury and FinCEN authority, as the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees prepare January 15, 2026 hearings on the bill.
