GOP Unveils Updated Crypto Bill With White House Ethics Clause, Aiming For Floor Vote

Senate Republicans circulated a 616-page revision of the crypto bill (the Clarity Act) that adds a White House–backed ethics provision intended to curb federal officials’ involvement with digital assets. Enforcement would be DOJ-led, a stance Democrats say may be insufficient without broader oversight, and the provision sunsets in 2029. With no Democratic sign-off yet, Republicans hope for a floor vote next week, while critics warn the enforcement language may not satisfy bipartisan concerns and could require further changes.
