Trump Agrees to Ethics Rules for Crypto Bill Amid Industry Fears

The fate of a comprehensive cryptocurrency bill hangs in the balance after President Trump agreed to new ethics rules, but some are questioning whether they go far enough.

Trump's willingness to accept stricter conflict-of-interest provisions was reportedly crucial in getting key Democrats on board with the legislation, which aims to bring the $2.3 trillion digital asset market into the mainstream.

The bill would bar federally elected officials and their spouses from issuing digital assets, including meme coins like those launched by Trump and his wife in January.
