TechFlow News, June 24: According to Crypto in America, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the National Sheriffs’ Association jointly sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, expressing strong opposition to Section 604 of the “Clarity Act”—the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). Law enforcement groups contend that this provision could create regulatory loopholes exploitable by criminals for illicit activities including drug trafficking, fraud, child exploitation, sanctions evasion, and terrorist financing.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency-backed candidates achieved sweeping victories in primary elections across Maryland, New York, and Utah. Fairshake—a pro-crypto super PAC—has collectively invested over $7.6 million in campaign support, including $5.5 million backing Adrian Boafo, candidate for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District.
Miller Whitehouse-Levine, founder of the Solana Policy Institute, warned that August 7, 2026, may be the final window for Congress to pass cryptocurrency market structure legislation. He stated that the industry is willing to consider limited revisions to the BRCA provisions to address law enforcement concerns but firmly opposes any fundamental changes that would undermine the core protective scope of the provision.
Additionally, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on “The Future of Payments” the same day, focusing on stablecoin regulation, applications by crypto firms for federal banking charters, and the role of digital assets within the U.S. financial system.
