High-level White House meeting said to be planned to hash out Clarity Act ethics section

As the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act faces the final weeks of potential Senate floor time in which it can most realistically get passed this year, the major unfinished section is the legislation's restriction on senior government officials' personal business interests in the crypto sector. Democrats have demanded such limits, most significantly to address President Donald Trump's own ties, but negotiators have been unable to fix on a compromise even as the clock winds down in the Senate calendar.

White House officials — potentially including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, according to one person — are expected to meet with senators to work on closing that gap, the people said. Though text of an almost final version of the Clarity Act was expected to begin circulating, it may slip later in the week while talks continue, one of the people said.
