Odaily Planet Daily reported that the Blockchain Association has sent a letter to U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Charles Schumer, responding to the National Sheriffs' Association's (NSA) earlier criticism of the CLARITY Act.
The Blockchain Association stated that the NSA's interpretation of the Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act (CLARITY Act) reflects a fundamental misunderstanding, and denied that the bill would exempt decentralized finance, mixers, cross-chain bridges, software developers, and user interface-related entities from anti-money laundering and sanctions oversight.
The association said that the CLARITY Act does not weaken regulatory authorities' powers or reduce enforcement tools. It also noted that the NSA's position does not represent a consensus across the entire law enforcement community, citing support for the bill from multiple organizations, including the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, the Major County Sheriffs of America, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.
The Blockchain Association urged the Senate to continue advancing the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill would strengthen the regulatory framework for digital asset markets while preserving law enforcement's ability to conduct investigations and combat illegal activities. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: A group of Democratic U.S. senators has sent a letter to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig, urging the agency to ban trading on prediction markets tied to California wildfire events, expressing concerns that traders could be incentivized to deliberately start fires for financial gain.
The letter, led by Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, highlights that during the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025, related prediction markets generated approximately $1.2 million in trading volume. Among these, the market predicting when the Palisades Fire would be fully contained saw $711,600 in traded volume, with the largest single wager reaching approximately $274,800. The majority of funds were bet on later containment dates.
According to reports, new rules proposed by the CFTC on June 10 would require case-by-case review of prediction market contracts, covering categories such as terrorism, assassination, war, gambling, and illegal activities. However, wildfire-related events are not explicitly addressed in the current proposal. (BeInCrypto)
