NOBLE publicly supported CLARITY Act, stating that the bill would provide clearer rules for the digital asset industry and would not undermine existing criminal enforcement powers. This statement was seen as an important signal in moving the bill forward.
First open platform for law enforcement agencies
In a letter to the Senate leadership, NOBLE indicated that a number of provisions in the bill could provide new capacity for law enforcement, while retaining long-standing criminal law enforcement powers. It stressed that the bill did not weaken the federal law on which law enforcement officials relied on daily.
The focus of the dispute is on enforcement powers.
CLARTY Act also incorporates Blockchain Regulatory Certinity Act, which aims to provide clearer rules for block chain developers and service providers. Supporters argued that this would help to reduce regulatory ambiguity; opponents had previously feared that the bill would leave a gap in enforcement.
Continue to build up support before the Senate vote.
Reports indicate that NOBLE's support may have added momentum to the bill. Market participants are concerned about whether the Senate will arrange for a full House vote, and are also watching the follow-up by the leadership of Trump and the Senate, as well as by other law enforcement organizations.
Additional information:It is mentioned that NOBLE is the first major law enforcement organization to publicly support the Act.
