ChainThink said July 15 that, according to CoinDesk, senior White House officials are expected to meet with senators on Thursday to try to reach a compromise over disputed ethics provisions in the CLARITY Act. Possible attendees include White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
The central unresolved point is language that would curb senior government officials' personal cryptocurrency holdings. Democratic senators are pressing for limits on crypto-related business interests for the president, vice president, and members of Congress, with discussions largely centered on President Donald Trump, who has already earned more than $1 billion from crypto-related activities in 2025.
Senators Ruben Gallego and Angela Alsobrooks have said they will not back the bill unless ethics provisions are included. A near-final draft had been expected to begin circulating this week, but could slip as talks continue. The Senate is set to begin its summer recess in early August.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the CLARITY Act will move ahead this month regardless of the final wording.
