Trump Agrees to Add Bipartisan Ethics Clause to Crypto Bill

The ethics clause is the notable concession here, because it concedes that crypto legislation now carries a conflict-of-interest problem serious enough to require bipartisan cover. That reframes the bill from pure market-structure policy into a governance question, which affects how both parties can sell it and how industry lobbying is received. With wording and timing still undisclosed, the open question is whether the provision has teeth or is symbolic — and whether its inclusion speeds the bill or becomes the next sticking point.
