Key Legislative Barrier Cleared for Clarity Act as National Sheriffs' Association Drops Opposition

A major obstacle to advancing the federal Clarity Act has been removed after the National Sheriffs' Association withdrew its objections, clearing a key path toward comprehensive digital-asset legislation. The shift follows extended negotiations focused on anti-money laundering (AML) requirements and law enforcement access to blockchain transaction data. The association had been one of the bill's most prominent critics, formally opposing the measure in July 2026.
