Senate Republicans Revise Clarity Act With Ethics Proposal

Senate Republicans have unveiled a revised version of the Clarity Act, the digital-asset market-structure bill, and the new draft adds a Trump-backed ethics proposal. The revision reworks the legislation that originated in the House, though the full text, sponsors and timing of the Senate update remain to be verified.

What Senate Republicans unveiled in the revised Clarity Act

The announcement establishes one core fact: Senate Republicans have put forward a revised Clarity Act, according to reporting on the unveiling. This is a proposed revision, not enacted law. For related coverage, see Senate to Hold First CLARITY Act Vote on Tuesday.

The Clarity Act traces back to the House measure filed as H.R. 3633 in the 119th Congress. Beyond the existence of the Senate revision, no bill title, sponsor list or release date has been confirmed in the available evidence. The chamber had earlier moved toward a first floor vote on the Clarity Act.

Changes from the earlier bill

Substantive comparisons between the Senate revision and the earlier House text cannot be made responsibly here, because the revised language has not been verified against the original. The Senate has previously worked through a heavily negotiated version; Senator Cynthia Lummis said the Clarity Act carried more than 100 Democrat-requested changes.

The Trump-backed ethics proposal in the revised Clarity Act

The distinctive element of this revision is an ethics proposal described as Trump-backed. The available evidence links the revised Clarity Act to that proposal but does not supply its text. For related coverage, see Bessent Urges Senate to Pass Crypto Clarity Act.

Who and what the ethics proposal would cover

The specific officials, holdings or conduct the ethics proposal would address are not documented in the current evidence. Those details, including any restrictions, exceptions or enforcement mechanisms, require the proposal text before they can be reported.

What Trump’s backing means

The description of the proposal as Trump-backed reflects support for the ethics measure, not necessarily an endorsement of the entire bill. No statement documenting the nature or scope of that backing was available for verification.

What to watch next for the revised Clarity Act

The unveiling does not, on its own, establish a committee schedule, vote date or path to passage. The bill has faced a compressed calendar and pushback from banking interests during its Senate run.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has publicly urged the Senate to pass the Clarity Act, underscoring administration interest in the framework. No timetable for the revised version has been confirmed; watch for released bill text and a scheduled markup or floor action as the next verifiable milestones.
