With just a few days left before the U.S. Senate holds a key procedural vote on the CLARITY bill, sources familiar with the matter say that Trump discussed the ethical provisions being developed within the bill with his advisors last Friday. The related talks were not held in public, and it is currently not possible for the outside world to confirm the outcome of the discussions.

Discussion on ethical wording before voting

Reportedly, according to two people familiar with the matter, this closed-door meeting focused on the ethical provisions in the bill. Currently, Senate Democrats are pushing for stricter restrictions with the aim of limiting Trump's ability to profit from his family's cryptocurrency business.

It is not yet clear what conclusions were ultimately reached at the meeting, nor is it known who specifically attended. As the voting time approaches, this discussion is seen as the latest coordination effort regarding the bill text.

The Democratic Party pushes for restrictions on profit-taking

One of the focal points of the controversy is whether the president and his associated business interests should be brought under clearer constraints. The Democratic Party hopes to use ethical provisions to limit Trump from gaining direct benefits through relevant policies or legislative arrangements, given his family's involvement in the cryptocurrency industry.

This means that the advancement of the CLARITY legislation not only involves the regulatory framework for the crypto market but also touches on discussions in Washington regarding conflicts of interest. As procedural votes approach, whether these relevant provisions are retained may affect subsequent negotiations between the two parties.

Advisors send out optimistic signals

Trump's crypto advisor Patrick Witt posted on social media on Saturday with an optimistic tone. He wrote, "For those who are pessimistic about the CLARITY legislation, today is not a good day for you."

This statement did not disclose the details of the meeting, but it indicates that at least on the public level, Trump's camp still maintains a positive attitude towards the prospects of the bill. Next, the market will be watching the procedural vote in the Senate on Tuesday, as well as whether ethical provisions will continue to be a key point of disagreement in the advancement of the bill.
