U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis said Democrats had previously called for a dedicated office within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, to represent retail crypto investors, but the CLARITY bill already includes such a provision. According to Lummis, the legislation provides for an Office of the Retail Commodity Investor Advocate. She criticized Democrats for still voting against the bill, arguing that their opposition blocks a dedicated CFTC investor-advocacy mechanism aimed at protecting retail participants in crypto asset markets. Her remarks frame the dispute around whether the bill already addresses one of the protections Democrats had sought for individual investors.
