#特朗普同意Clarity法案纳入伦理条款 On the evening of July 20, 2026, local time, after months of standoff, the Trump administration relented and agreed to include an “ethics clause” in the CLARITY Act (the Digital Asset Market Structure Act), clearing the final major political obstacle before a Senate vote for this U.S. crypto regulatory cornerstone.

The core of the ethics clause targets conflicts of interest and prevention: it would restrict federal senior officials such as the president, vice president, and members of Congress from directly profiting from digital assets (including Meme coins and family-linked projects such as WLFI) during their terms of office, with recusal mechanisms covering the officials themselves and their immediate family members. The original source of the dispute is the Trump family—its disclosed crypto-related income is about $1.4 billion, and Democrats have long viewed “Clarity without ethics constraints” as a corruption bill “tailor-made for the president.”

The White House’s concession is a compromise within a limited time window: it must be voted on before the Senate adjourns for the first week of August, and the 60-vote threshold requires Democratic support. A closed-door meeting on July 16 failed to break the deadlock; in the end, Trump approved accepting the Republican version with “strict wording,” but the specific text has not yet been reviewed by Democrats. Enforcement would fall to the Department of Justice rather than state attorneys general, and it could still become a target for later reversals.

Clarity itself aims to be the first federal-level move to define digital assets, draw a line between SEC and CFTC jurisdiction, and end the confusion of “enforcement-style regulation.” With an ethics clause enacted into law, U.S. crypto legislation would shift from “industry freedom” to “power being constrained”—if it ultimately becomes law, it would be the first market-structure act by a global major economy to impose hard constraints on politicians’ crypto profit conflicts, but the real fight lies in the text standoff between the two parties over the next three weeks.
