Trump Administration Agrees to Federal Crypto Ban in CLARITY Act, Raising Passage Odds to 52%
The White House has agreed to ethics language in the CLARITY Act that bans federal officials from issuing digital assets and assigns enforcement to the Justice Department rather than state attorneys general. The development pushed prediction market odds of the bill becoming law to 52%, up from 30% last week.
Senate Democrats remain divided on the DOJ enforcement mechanism, while crypto industry stakeholders are scheduled to join a call with Republican leadership to review the latest bill text. The updated legislation aims to protect customer assets following industry failures like Terra’s $40 billion collapse, with negotiators working toward a Senate floor vote before the August 7 recess.
