Republicans Send ‘Final’ CLARITY Act Offer to Democrats Ahead of Key Vote

The 'final offer' framing, arriving two days before a procedural vote, signals Republicans are betting Democrats will fold rather than be seen as blocking a market-structure bill. The inclusion of Trump-backed ethics provisions complicates that bet: it hands Democrats a substantive objection that is not about crypto policy at all. With no disclosed response, the open question is whether the vote becomes a party-line procedural step or a genuine negotiation point — and whether the ethics language survives if talks resume.
