Trump agrees to amend the ethics provisions of the CLARITY Act

Trump reportedly accepts revised ethics provisions of the CLARITY Act

According to a report released on September 14, 2026, President Donald Trump has reportedly accepted the revised ethics provisions of the CLARITY Act. The report quoted an unnamed Senate Republican aide as saying that the scope of the agreement had been basically determined, but the specific operating text, implementation mechanism and current adoption status had not yet been confirmed as senators moved towards voting on the closing debate.

It is reported that what Trump agreed to and what has not yet been confirmed

Coinpedia reported at 02:37 UTC on September 14, 2026 that Senate Republicans released a revised version of the CLARITY Act on Sunday before voting in closing debate on Tuesday. This is the report's record of the Senate negotiation process. The report establishes facts only at this release time and the release of the draft; it does not independently confirm the relevant legislative event itself.

According to the same unconfirmed report, Trump himself agreed to a revised ethics proposal. There has been no presidential statement, White House confirmation or statement from any named negotiator, so this "acceptance" is based solely on a single media outlet citing an unnamed aide.

The aide reportedly estimated that the proposal accepted about 80% of the Tillis-Gallego framework. However, since the base numbers, calculation methods and details of the underlying framework compared were not disclosed, this data cannot be used as a verified measure of the degree of change.

What is said to be covered by the amendment clause

According to a single source, the revised proposal would require Trump to divest significant cryptocurrency positions or place them in blind trusts and allow state attorneys general to enforce these ethics rules. These reported requirements have not been checked against any revised legislative texts, exceptions or effective dates and should not be considered enacted laws.

The same unconfirmed report also described other further changes: narrowing the scope of protection of the Blockchain Regulatory Determinity Act, introducing a new Treasury Department stablecoin deposit run-blowing mechanism, and changes to exchange conflict of interest rules. Since the full text of the current package of bills could not be obtained, the specific wording of each content had not been verified. Readers following the measure can compare it with previous Senate Republican revisions.

The verified bills it amended and their key differences

The only major document currently available directly is the version approved by the House, which the U.S. Government Publishing Office identifies as H.R. 3633 (Adopted by the House of Representatives, 1st Session of the 119th Congress). The first article gives it short names "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025" and "CLARITY Act of 2025."

This House version of the stated purpose includes establishing a system for regulating digital commodity quotes and sales by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Its catalog shows that Part 3 involves registration of SEC intermediaries, and Part 4 involves registration of CFTC digital commodity intermediaries.

The House text already contains Section 413, titled "Conflict of Interest Rule Making," and Title 6, titled "Anti-Central Bank Digital Currency Surveillance Countries Act," but these existing titles do not confirm reports of a September 2026 revision of the President's Ethics Clause. The 2025 bill that has been passed is not a package amendment to the Senate's ethics provisions this time. It cannot establish the specific wording, scope, exceptions or implementation of the new provisions.

Next matters to be concerned about

The specific trigger point in the near future is the reported vote to close the debate on Tuesday, although relevant reports did not independently confirm the voting schedule. The reported language agreement and a vote to close the debate do not equate to formal passage of the bill, an important difference that was reflected in previous times when Senate Republicans announced their CLARITY Act package and when Schumer convened Senate Democrats to discuss the bill.

There is still a lack of evidence necessary for headlines to be considered verified: current Senate amendment texts, attribution confirmations from the White House or named negotiators, and the official legislative status. Before the information surfaced, reports about the president's acceptance and about 80% of the data still belonged to claims by a single media outlet citing unnamed aides rather than hard facts.
