US President Donald Trump has reportedly approved about 80% of an ethics proposal within a cryptocurrency bill, including provisions allowing state attorneys general to sue crypto exchanges that list banned digital assets. The bill also bans federal officials and their spouses from issuing digital assets and is undergoing updates to manage conflicts of interest and crypto holdings.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to brace for new state-level enforcement on crypto exchanges as state attorneys general gain power to sue, which could fragment compliance requirements and add legal risks. Your regulatory strategy must now factor in varied state actions alongside federal rules.
