NSA Dumps Opposition to CLARITY Act, But Hurdles Remain

The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has dropped its opposition to the CLARITY Act, paving the way for potential bipartisan support.

In a September 3 letter to Senate leaders, the NSA changed its position from opposition to neutral, stating that Congress should be allowed to continue negotiating on the regulatory framework.

The move could help alleviate concerns among Democratic senators and lawmakers, who had been hesitant due to the NSA's previous opposition. However, restrictions on government officials profiting from crypto remain a significant hurdle in passing the bill.
