Clarity Act's Ethics Clause Clarified, But Democrats Find It Insufficient ✨


Senator Cynthia Lummis shared the ethics requirement for the Clarity Act. The clause aims to prohibit federal officials from issuing or sponsoring digital assets for profit.
🔹 Scope includes the president, vice president, members of Congress, and high-ranking federal officials.
🔹 The ban covers activities of issuing and sponsoring digital assets for profit.
🔹 The Department of Justice will be responsible for implementation.
🔹 The clause was added to the text after negotiations with the White House.
On the Democratic side, some senators, primarily Angela Alsobrooks and Cory Booker, state that the text prepared by the Republicans is still insufficient.
🔹 The ethics clause is unclear regarding family members and existing assets.
🔹 Additional measures are requested regarding illicit finance.
🔹 Stronger provisions are requested regarding consumer protection.
While the White House describes the text as the most comprehensive ethics regulation in its history, Democrats express concern about the exclusion of the role of state attorneys general and the reliance of the implementation mechanism on the Department of Justice model.
The process is currently in the text publication and Senate voting phase. The voting window is narrowing before the early August recess, and further negotiations are expected on ethics, illicit finance, and consumer protection issues for a final agreement.
