Waters Calls for Legislation Against Trump Crypto Conflicts

The signal here is procedural rather than substantive: conflict-of-interest language is being folded into the same conversation as market-structure rules, which ties the legislative timeline to the president's own holdings rather than to the technical merits of a framework. That linkage matters most for legitimate crypto businesses and the community banks and consumer groups Waters names, since their priority is predictable rules, not a fight over executive ethics. Whether Democrats can keep the industry-engagement track separate from the conflicts track is the open question.
