The agreement includes allowing state attorneys general to enforce the law, addressing concerns about conflict of interest related to Trump's crypto wealth.

Story summary
In September 2026, President Donald Trump agreed to new ethics provisions in a major cryptocurrency bill, responding to demands from key senators that his involvement should be subject to stringent conflict-of-interest rules. Initially, the bill included a provision barring all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital assets. However, Democrats led by Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona sought additional measures to address Trump’s crypto wealth more directly. The agreed-upon compromise includes allowing state attorneys general a "meaningful role" in enforcing the cryptocurrency legislation alongside the Justice Department. This development is crucial as it could pave the way for a pivotal Senate vote on September 15, which would either legitimize the $2.3 trillion crypto market under federal law or prompt further lobbying efforts from industry stakeholders ahead of the midterms.
