White House Reaches Agreement on Clarity Act Ethical Provisions
The White House has agreed to the ethical guidelines of the Clarity Act and has sent specific language to some Senate Republicans.
This proposal, reported by Eleanor Terrett, aims to supplement the ethical constraints framework for the digital asset market clarity legislation, focusing on the handling of conflicts of interest between regulators and the industry. Senate Republicans are receiving the relevant text to advance legislative discussions.
The White House is collaborating with Congressional Republicans to push the bill forward, benefiting the crypto industry with regulatory certainty while traditional financial institutions face pressure from new compliance thresholds; funds are accelerating into compliant crypto projects, with the market shifting from policy uncertainty to institutional trading driven by events.

The White House has previously pushed for legislation on crypto regulation through compromise packages, such as adding consumer protection clauses during negotiations on the stablecoin and market structure bills after 2022, which were delayed multiple times due to partisan disagreements.
On the capital front, the executive branch is mobilizing legislative resources in exchange for industry self-regulation commitments, with a strategic motive to balance innovation and risk control, while providing a clear path for fintech contributors in Republican districts.
Similar to the historical disputes over the division of authority between the SEC and CFTC and the ethical disclosure requirements in the EU's MiCA regulation, U.S. crypto regulation is in a transitional phase from fragmentation to a federal framework.
This essentially represents a regulatory change: the White House is reshaping the legislative game through ethical add-ons, aiming to bridge partisan and industry divides, using transparency requirements to reduce capture risks, and promoting capital concentration from gray areas to compliant infrastructure.
