#特朗普加密利益与监管博弈

This bill literally requires President Trump to divest his digital asset holdings or put them in a blind trust. It's becoming painfully clear some of my Democrat colleagues would rather let consumers lose everything if a crypto exchange fails and posture for the midterms than pass market structure legislation with unprecedented ethics standards covering the President, VP, Congress, and the Federal Judiciary.

🇺🇸 BLOOMBERG: Trump's crypto ventures are complicating negotiations over the CLARITY Act. https://t.co/9t5lIpGqaQ

CLARITY ACT PROBLEMS REMAIN 🚨👇 The odds surged to 50% yesterday after Trump accepted the ethics provisions, but dropped to 38% today after Democrats allegedly identified major loopholes: 1. The ban excludes officials’ children, while Trump’s crypto business is largely managed by his sons. 2. Enforcement falls to the DOJ, led by an Attorney General appointed by the president, creating a clear conflict of interest.

"The problem seems to lie in the U.S. Senate, the banks putting on a full-court press that is scaring some senators." — Sen. Cynthia Lummis on Fox Business, when asked if the president would veto the CLARITY Act over ethics concerns. Makes sense. Banks hate competition, and their bread and butter is being threatened. Half of us in crypto are here because we're fed up with them.

$250k/day. That's the DOJ fine for violating Senate GOP's Clarity Act, which would ban presidents and federal officials from issuing crypto. Trump reportedly signed off on the ethics language himself, despite pulling in $1.2B in crypto income last year. Still needs 60 votes to pass.

NEW: President Donald Trump is said to have made historic concessions in the deal to allow an ethics provision in the crypto Clarity Act that curtails the president’s own activities, and the White House is pushing Democrats to accept it. @jesseahamilton reports.

The Trumps made billions selling crypto and shares in Trump-related companies to the public. But their gains did not result from actual value creation, but from the losses suffered by investors who bought the overpriced crypto and shares they sold. Many buyers expected to lose money, as the purchases were disguised bribes. Some likely didn't care if they made money, as they bought small amounts just to show their support. But the majority were likely unsophisticated Trump loyalists, who actually expected to make money on what they believed were legitimate investments. My guess is that the Trump Organization will be overwhelmed by lawsuits as victims of these scams seek to recover their losses. It's also likely that the most extreme examples will be exploited by Democrats in highly effective political ads as Republicans will be hard-pressed to defend the conduct.

UPDATE: President Trump agrees to ethics language in the CLARITY Act banning federal officials from issuing crypto, but Democrats push back on enforcement being handed to the DOJ rather than state attorneys general. https://t.co/eEXG9nToso
