The White House has approved an ethics package tied to the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act and transmitted the language to Senate Republicans, according to negotiators. President Donald Trump personally signed off on the provision, removing what lawmakers described as the bill’s final major hurdle before a Senate floor vote.
White House Sign-Off Clears Key Obstacle
Administration approval of the ethics language marks a breakthrough after months of stalled negotiations. With the provision agreed, backers of the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act say the measure is now positioned for consideration by the full Senate.
Senate Vote Expected After Months of Deadlock
Negotiators characterized the ethics package as the last significant sticking point. With that issue resolved, Senate leadership is expected to move the bill toward a floor vote. The timing of consideration has not been announced.
About the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act
The Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act is designed to provide clearer federal guidelines for digital asset markets. Supporters argue that clearer definitions and compliance expectations could help reduce regulatory uncertainty, while critics have previously raised concerns about consumer protections and market oversight. Specific terms of the final package were not disclosed.
What Comes Next
The bill must secure Senate passage before moving through any remaining legislative steps, which could include reconciliation with House language if differences arise. If approved by both chambers, it would proceed to the president for signature.
