Trump Agrees to Crypto Bill Ethics Provision Amid Senate Vote
President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal as part of broader cryptocurrency legislation, according to three Republican authors. The bill aims to regulate digital assets and includes a provision that would bar federally elected officials and their spouses from issuing cryptocurrencies.
The original version of the bill contained only one provision related to digital assets, which barred federally elected officials, their spouses, and federal judges from issuing digital assets.
The agreement between Trump and the Republican authors is seen as a significant development in the passage of the cryptocurrency legislation. However, it remains unclear whether the bill will pass this week or what other provisions might be included.
