POLICY WIRE — Washington, United States — President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal that is part of a broader cryptocurrency bill headed for a key vote this week, according to a senior GOP official involved in the negotiations.

The sweeping bill initially had a provision that would bar all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital assets. However, concerns from Democrats and some Republicans led to revisions, including allowing state attorneys general to enforce the law alongside the Justice Department.
