- The White House reportedly agreed to ethics language for the CLARITY Act, potentially clearing a major Senate roadblock
- Senator Bernie Moreno stated the Department of Justice, not state attorneys general, would enforce the ethics provisions
- Democrats say they were excluded from negotiations, while White House officials signal a final Senate push this month
The White House has reportedly agreed to an ethics package for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, according to multiple industry sources cited by journalist Eleanor Terrett, potentially breaking a weeks-long Senate stalemate over whether the rules would apply to President Trump. Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bernie Moreno reached the agreement with the White House, with Moreno stating that the Department of Justice — not state attorneys general — would enforce the ethics provisions.
However, Democrats said Monday they have been largely shut out of the ethics talks, including a White House meeting last Thursday between Trump and senior officials to secure the president’s support. Meanwhile, the deal has been shared with Senate Republicans, though draft language has not yet been seen by Democratic lawmakers.
Consequently, White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt announced his required Georgia Army National Guard training has been postponed, allowing him to remain in Washington for the Senate push. White House crypto czar David Sacks confirmed, “Witt will be staying to take Clarity across the finish line.”
Moreno said he expects the Act to pass before Witt leaves the White House this month, though the bill’s path remains uncertain amid the partisan divide over the ethics language. On Stocktwits, a poll asking users what would come first showed 33% betting on a lengthy PDF document, while 30% predicted a straight vote and 20% expected new memecoins to appear before Senate action.
