Grateful to @NBCIBlackChurch—150,000 African American and Latino faith communities, 27.7 million members—for backing Clarity and rules that protect consumers from fraud while allowing responsible innovation to serve communities too often excluded from traditional finance.

The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI) is urging the United States Senate to pass the Clarity Act before the August recess, emphasizing the need for clear federal regulations that promote innovation while protecting consumers, businesses, and communities.
NBCI believes responsible public policy should encourage technological advancement while ensuring fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity for all Americans. As our nation continues to shape the future of digital innovation, timely legislative action is essential.

A critical endorsement for the Clarity Act: the Fraternal Order of Police is supporting the bill.
Clarity strengthens the fight against illicit finance while preserving the tools law enforcement needs to investigate and prosecute crime.
Protect consumers. Protect developers. Support law enforcement. Pass Clarity.

This is a pro-law enforcement bill
🚨NEWS: The National Fraternal Order of Police, one of the key law enforcement groups involved in negotiations over the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, is now backing the latest version of the Clarity Act, saying revised BRCA language addresses its previous concerns and preserves law enforcement’s ability to investigate crypto crimes.
The BRCA remained unchanged in the latest version of the bill released Wednesday, so it’s unclear what changes the group is referencing.

Strong support continues to flow in for the Clarity Act. I wonder who else will come out in support of the bill today… 🤔
@burgessev That’s not what I’m hearing from those involved in negotiations.
The window is tight, but the path remains clear.
.@calilyliu on what Solana set out to build from the very beginning:
"The long-term value proposition has always been to be this financial infrastructure that everybody on the internet can use."
"Some people forget that the title of the Bitcoin white paper is not digital gold. It's a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. And that's what Solana set out to build from the very beginning."
"As the industry has moved into tokenized RWAs, the hero asset class is equities. And when you look at equities and what's happening on the internet, you've got 24/7 trading, billions of dollars of volume throughout the weekend, and sometimes we're even doing more volume on Solana than the NASDAQ is doing on a Monday."

Kristin is spot on. Every negotiator is still working under the timeline that this must have a vote prior to August recess.
Now is not the time to relent.
I’ve had many conversations since this came out yesterday, and it doesn’t reflect the current state of play.
There is a clear path to pass the Clarity Act before the recess on August 7 – and we must seize it.
To the crypto community: This is our moment. We can get this done. 🇺🇸

Our team was on Capitol Hill today for another congressional staff briefing on the Clarity Act.
The discussion came at a timely moment as the Senate enters the final stretch of consideration.
Thank you to @SolanaInstitute's @thecolinmclaren and @Coinbase's @robinrcook for joining BA's @lindsayfraser0 to discuss the bill's framework and answer questions from staff.

1/ The updated Clarity Act text is here, reflecting a tremendous amount of work to get the details right. It creates new consumer protections, new tools for law enforcement, and most critically, it protects software developers, filling the gaps that exist in law today.

The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA):
Industry sources say the BRCA is unchanged from the version that cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May.
It continues to clarify that non-custodial software developers and blockchain infrastructure providers are not treated as money transmitters solely because they build or maintain decentralized networks. The Lummis-Grassley amendment also remains, preserving existing federal criminal liability for anyone who “knowingly” facilitates illicit transactions.
The Keep Your Coins Act is also intact, preserving individuals’ right to self-custody their own crypto.
