According to CoinMeta, the National Sheriff's Association of the United States has renounced its opposition to the Clear Act, removing one obstacle to law enforcement. This act aims to establish a structure for the U.S. cryptocurrency market. In a letter to Senate leaders on September 3, the association stated that it had shifted its position to neutral and argued that Congress should continue to negotiate on the regulatory framework. This move may help to gain support from Democrats, but disputes over government ethics and other provisions remain unresolved. The association's letter acknowledges that the Clear Act attempts to regulate a market that lacks sufficient oversight and expresses appreciation for the efforts of Congress and other stakeholders regarding legal and law enforcement implications. Nevertheless, the organization has not indicated that the legislation is ready for passage. The change in stance by the National Sheriff's Association could alter political calculations, as senators will no longer face opposition from major sheriff organizations.
