The FOP, representing 382,000 US police officers, reversed its opposition to endorse the revised Digital Asset Market Clarity Act after lawmakers clarified that protections for blockchain developers would not restrict crypto-related prosecutions. The shift signals law enforcement backing for legislation that expands investigative tools, applies AML requirements to digital asset exchanges, and funds state/local enforcement capacity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Law enforcement just stopped fighting crypto regulation—they're now writing it. If you run a digital asset platform, exchange, or stablecoin business, AML/KYC requirements are coming, but the police lobby just moved from blocker to ally, which means the bill's path to 60 votes just cleared a critical hurdle.
