Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger penned an article countering *The Wall Street Journal*'s earlier criticism of the *Clarity Act*. The article pointed out that while WSJ acknowledges the bill helps end regulatory gray areas, provides clear rules for investors and banks, and promotes the development of tokenized assets, it simultaneously questions stablecoin rewards, DeFi regulation, and tokenized securities. Mersinger argues that the bill does not weaken efforts to combat illicit finance nor impose unrealistic KYC obligations on decentralized code. Instead, it sets clear compliance standards for intermediaries and rejects granting monopoly protections to traditional banks. She calls on *The Wall Street Journal* to return to its long-standing support for free markets and fair competition by backing the bill, which establishes certainty for the digital asset market.
