The Fraternal Order of Police and the National Crypto Association jointly endorsed the revised CLARITY Act on Monday, giving the crypto regulation bill a rare show of support from both law enforcement and industry advocates. The endorsement, announced July 27, 2026, marks a significant moment for legislation that has been in the works for months.
Why the endorsements matter
The FOP represents more than 350,000 law enforcement officers, while the NCA is one of the largest crypto industry trade groups in the U.S. Their joint backing suggests the revised bill has found a middle ground that addresses concerns from both sides — a balance that has eluded previous attempts at crypto regulation.
What the groups cited
In their endorsement, the organizations pointed to three main features of the revised CLARITY Act: stronger enforcement tools for regulators, enhanced consumer protections, and clearer regulatory guidelines for digital asset businesses. The FOP has historically been wary of crypto's use in illicit finance, while the NCA has pushed for rules that don't stifle innovation. The fact that both groups are on board signals the bill may have addressed those competing priorities.
The CLARITY Act has been through several revisions since its introduction. The endorsements come as the legislation is expected to move to a floor vote in the Senate after the August recess. Whether the support from the FOP and NCA will translate into broader bipartisan backing remains an open question, but the endorsements give the bill a credibility boost that could sway undecided lawmakers.
