Trump agrees to CLARITY Act ethics rules ahead of Senate vote

President Trump agreed to expanded conflict-of-interest restrictions and state-level enforcement powers to secure key Senate votes for the CLARITY Act, the market-structure bill that would create a federal framework for digital assets. State attorneys general would be given authority to enforce the ethics rules covering Trump himself, elected officials and judges, an addition Democrats had pressed for.

• Trump's sign-off was seen as decisive after Digital Chamber CEO Cody Carbone said the bill could not reach the 60-vote threshold without an ethics deal.
• The measure still faces a key procedural vote against a shortened September calendar.
