Trump's financial disclosures exacerbate ethical controversies surrounding the crypto bill, with Democrats demanding restrictive clauses be added.
According to Odaily Odaily, newly released 927-page financial disclosures by US President Trump reveal that his income includes hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto-related earnings, including millions of dollars related to World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project launched by the Trump family in 2024. This disclosure has accelerated congressional negotiations on the ethics provisions of the Clarity Act, a bill concerning the structure of crypto markets. Currently, lawmakers from both parties are negotiating the Clarity Act, which aims to establish the first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for cryptography in the United States. One of the key points of the negotiations is whether to include ethical restrictions to prevent the president, vice president, members of Congress, and other federal officials from profiting from digital assets while in office. Democratic lawmakers reiterated after the documents were released that the bill must include strict ethical provisions. Senator Angela Alsobrooks stated that the restrictions should apply to the president, vice president, and all members of Congress, adding that ordinary Americans should benefit from digital assets in a fair and honest manner, rather than allowing politicians to profit through corruption and systemic loopholes. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand also stated that both parties are still pushing for rigorous ethical reforms to prohibit the president, vice president, and members of Congress from using crypto assets for personal gain. Elizabeth Warren added that if the Clarity Act fails to prevent the president, members of Congress, and their families from profiting from the crypto industry, the bill will further fuel the Trump-related crypto corruption controversy. Republicans have stated that ethical provisions remain part of the bipartisan negotiations. With the July deadline for advancing the Clarity Act approaching, the disclosure of the Trump family's encrypted income could become a key variable influencing the final text of the bill and Democratic support.
