Major Sheriffs Group Turns Neutral on CLARITY Act DeFi Provision, Boosting Bill Momentum
The Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA) has withdrawn its opposition to the decentralized finance (DeFi) provision in the proposed U.S. CLARITY Act, shifting its stance to neutral and easing a key law-enforcement objection to the bill’s digital asset market-structure approach [1] [2].
Reporting on the policy change says MCSA still wants amendments that would provide local law enforcement with additional resources to investigate illicit finance cases, but the group’s move from opposition to neutrality is framed as improving the bill’s prospects in Congress [3] [4].
The MCSA’s shift to neutrality on the CLARITY Act’s DeFi provision marks a change in the bill’s regulatory and enforcement posture, according to multiple outlets citing a letter from the group [1] [3].
