160 former national security, intelligence, and law enforcement officials have signed a letter urging Senate leaders to advance the CLARITY Act.
The group argues that digital asset market structure is a national security and law enforcement priority, saying โregulatory clarity is an enforcement advantage.โ
The letter highlights provisions that expand anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance, strengthen coordination between Treasury, DOJ, FBI, and DEA, create a permanent digital asset illicit finance task force, and add new consumer protections for crypto kiosks.
Supporters say clear rules bring more activity under US oversight, improve visibility for investigators, and make it easier to combat fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, terrorism financing, and trafficking.
The push comes as industry advocates head to Washington this week for meetings across 18 Senate offices to rally support for the bill.
