Trump Relents on Crypto Ethics Provision Amid Legislation Vote

US President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal that is part of broader cryptocurrency legislation. The bill, which is headed for a key vote this week, includes a provision that bars all federally elected officials and their spouses from engaging in certain cryptocurrency activities.

The agreement comes after three Republican senators, who are main authors of the bill, met with Trump to discuss the ethics proposal. The provision aims to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure transparency in the handling of cryptocurrencies.
