Trump's Crypto Empire at Risk as CLARITY Act Debate Heats Up
The CLARITY Act, a bill to regulate the crypto market in the US, is sparking an ethics debate in the Senate. The proposed legislation could force President Donald Trump to divest his crypto assets due to conflict of interest.
The Trump family has earned over $1 billion from crypto ventures since the president took office. According to the 2025 financial disclosure, the president's income from crypto ventures reached approximately $1.4 billion.
The CLARITY Act is still in debate, with negotiations ongoing between Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego to add ethics language to the text. The bill requires 60 votes to pass and will be voted on in the Senate within the next few days.
