Blockchain Association Urges CLARITY Act Passage on National Security Agenda
Blockchain Association sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. The letter is signed by 160 former national security, intelligence, and law enforcement professionals in support of advancing the CLARITY Act.
The letter argues that the crypto market structure bill is a law enforcement and national security priority. Clear crypto rules to bring activity under U.S. regulatory oversight, strengthen consumer protection, and help investigators catch bad actors.
Blockchain Association claimed the crypto industry stands with law enforcement. “We support strong compliance, strong consumer protections, and strong tools to combat illicit finance. That’s why the Senate should advance the Clarity Act,” the crypto body added.
The crypto bill has key anti-illicit finance and enforcement provisions. These include expanded BSA and sanctions obligations, Treasury-led information sharing with DOJ, FBI, DEA, and the private sector, and a permanent interagency working group focused on digital asset illicit finance.
In addition, CLARITY Act passage is key to strengthening security and safety measures for digital asset kiosks. It is important for seniors and other Americans targeted by scams. Senate Banking Chairman Tim Scott doubled down on his support for the CLARITY Act today.
Town Hall with Senator Cynthia Lummis, Whip Tom Emmer, and Patrick Witt
Blockchain Association is bringing letter signatories and members to Washington, D.C. for meetings across 18 Senate offices on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the association’s member Ripple opened a new office in the capital to focus on crypto policy and blockchain innovation advocacy.
It will be followed by a vitual town hall on Thursday on how the Clarity Act supports law enforcement and national security. The town hall will feature Senator Cynthia Lummis, House Whip Tom Emmer, and White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt.
This coincides with the placement of the CLARITY Act on the Senate Legislative Calendar. This makes the crypto bill eligible for full Senate consideration. The Senate will vote on the crypto bill and advance it to President Donald Trump for signing after weeks of Senate floor debate and amendments.
The Clarity Act is the most pro-law enforcement crypto bill ever considered by Congress. Fact. https://t.co/3S89ocDr5v
