Trump Backs Tougher Ethics Rules in Clarity Act as GOP Makes Final Offer

The significance here is less the ethics provisions than the procedural signal: calling this a final offer and attaching presidential backing suggests Republicans are done negotiating and are now courting Democratic defections rather than seeking a bipartisan rewrite. That shifts the bill's fate onto a handful of crossover votes, with DeFi and stablecoin concessions serving as the sweetener for holdouts. Whether the industry's confidence in passage is matched by actual Democratic support is the open question, and Tuesday's vote should settle it.
