+# North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA)
+
+NASAA is the coordinating body for state and provincial securities regulators across North America. It represents the institutional voice of state-level securities oversight and has historically taken more conservative positions on digital asset regulation than federal agencies like the SEC.
+
+## Timeline
+- **2026-01-13** — Filed formal concerns regarding the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, opposing federal preemption of state digital asset oversight authority
+
+## Relationship to KB
+
+NASAA represents coordinated state-level resistance to federal digital asset regulatory frameworks. Its opposition to the CLARITY Act aligns with the 36-state amicus coalition in prediction market cases, suggesting a broader institutional "states' rights" dynamic in internet finance regulation that creates friction against federal preemption attempts.
