TREE NEWS update: Eighteen state attorneys general have come out against the revised CLARITY Act, saying the crypto bill would weaken state oversight, ahead of a key Senate vote. The opposition follows an ethics concession by President Trump that addressed one hurdle for the legislation. The bill’s path through the Senate remains contested.
18 State AGs Oppose Revised CLARITY Act Ahead of Senate Vote
The state AGs' opposition reframes the CLARITY Act from a partisan fight into a federalism dispute, with the states arguing the revised text would strip them of authority they currently exercise over crypto activity. That matters because state regulators, not Washington, have driven most enforcement to date, and their resistance could complicate the bill's already contested Senate path even after the ethics concession cleared one hurdle. Whether the AGs' objections harden into a bloc that forces further amendments — or fade as the vote nears — is the open question.
