Senate Insiders Float Plan to Harden Ethics Language in Clarity Act Crypto Bill, Sources Say

A last-ditch push by two senators—one from each party—to rewrite the ethics section of the biggest crypto bill in US history is threatening to upend a fragile White House compromise, casting fresh doubt over the legislation’s fate.

According to the original report from CoinDesk, the bipartisan duo is working on language that would harden the limits on crypto activity that President Trump had already agreed to, hoping the tougher stance will lock in enough yes votes.

The target is the so-called “Trump-approved ethics section” of the Clarity Act, a sprawling bill designed to give digital asset markets a workable federal framework.

That section had been seen as a concession to the administration, allowing certain activities to continue under broad regulatory guardrails.
