The Blockchain Association sent a letter on Tuesday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer expressing strong support for the Clarity Act.
The letter, signed by 160 former national security and law enforcement officials, urged the Senate to pass the legislation.
"The Clarity Act expands law enforcement and financial crime prevention capabilities across the digital asset ecosystem," the letter said.
The Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee last month and currently awaits a vote in the full Senate. Lawmakers continue to debate whether the bill should include ethics provisions that would restrict elected officials from participating in crypto ventures, a debate fueled in part by President Donald Trump's crypto business interests.
The Blockchain Association's Tuesday letter "makes the case that digital asset market structure is a law enforcement and national security priority," the organization wrote in a post on X.
