Trump has agreed to ethics provisions in the CLARITY Act that would bar sitting officials from profiting from crypto businesses, removing the final legislative hurdle. The bill could pass the Senate before August recess if voted on this summer, otherwise delayed to November.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If CLARITY passes this summer, US crypto founders gain regulatory certainty and a defined rulebook for the first time - but the ethics lock means no sitting official will compete with you on assets they regulate. You now have a narrow window: vote before August recess or the bill stalls until after November elections.
