According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the crypto ethics provision signed by Trump will bar federal officials—including members of Congress, the president, and vice president—from issuing digital assets, and designate the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as the primary enforcement authority for the provision, rather than state attorneys general. This arrangement could become a new point of contention in advancing the CLARITY Act, as Democrats have long argued that states should retain certain enforcement powers. Maryland Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks, one of the lead negotiators for the bill, issued a statement earlier Tuesday: “The DOJ enforcing ethics provisions? This is not a serious proposal. If the language stays this way, I will not support the bill.” Her concerns over enforcement powers specifically target Trump’s personal meme coin and his family’s firm, World Liberty Financial. The ethics provision has been the final sticking point for the CLARITY Act after months of legislative hurdles. Patrick Witt, a senior White House advisor for crypto affairs, revealed the details of the ethics language during an industry call on Tuesday afternoon. The White House has not confirmed the exact text, but an official attributed the potential impasse to Democrats in an email: “If Senate Democrats block this historic legislation after the administration has gone to great lengths to accommodate their concerns, industry players should recognize that it is Democrats holding up the bill, as they have never taken legislative outcomes seriously.” Currently, both sides continue negotiations based on the current draft, and it remains unclear whether an agreement can be reached before the Senate adjourns.
