Trump Agrees to Crypto Ethics Rules in Clarity Act, Boosting Passage Odds

President Donald Trump has agreed to crypto ethics rules outlined in the Clarity Act, paving the way for its potential passage. The bill aims to establish a federal framework for digital assets in the United States and still requires approval from the Senate and reconciliation with other congressional committees before it can become law.

The agreement on ethics rules appears to address a key issue that was previously hindering the bill's progress, allowing it to move closer to securing the necessary 60 votes for Senate passage. Markets have reacted positively to this development, with the odds of the Clarity Act being signed into law in 2026 rising to 46.5% from 41% over the past 24 hours.

The Clarity Act's passage is seen as a significant step towards clearer U.S. regulation of digital assets, pending further legislative hurdles. Observers will be closely monitoring the upcoming full Senate vote, which is crucial for the bill's progression. Key political figures, such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, will play pivotal roles in advancing the bill.
