The Trump administration has agreed with Republican senators to prohibit federal officials from issuing digital assets. The ban applies to the president, vice president, and members of Congress, according to Crypto In America journalist Eleanor Terrett and other sources. However, the main enforcer of the provision will be the Justice Department, not state attorneys general. This could become a stumbling block for Democratic support for the bill. In particular, Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks has refused to back the bill in its current form. Previously, she promoted the Clarity Act together with Cynthia Lummis. According to Polymarket, the probability of the Clarity Act being passed in 2026 has barely changed after the details were published, standing at 41%.
