WuBlockchain’s weekly roundup put U.S. crypto legislation and exchange restructuring at the center of the market conversation. Donald Trump agreed to ethics provisions in the CLARITY Act, removing what the report described as the last major obstacle before the bill can move toward a Senate vote. The draft language would restrict the president, vice president, members of Congress and other federal officials from profiting from digital assets while in office.
