🇺🇸 @USTreasury Secretary @SecScottBessent escalated pressure on the Senate to vote on the CLARITY Act, calling Democratic opposition politically motivated — "disappointing, but not surprising." Scott Bessent noted the House passed the bill over a year ago, since when Banking & Agriculture committee staff have spent thousands of hours on bipartisan negotiations. A floor-ready product, he says, is simply awaiting a vote. "America will lead or America won't. It's not more complicated than that." — and invoking Satoshi Nakamoto: "If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." The key sticking point remains an ethics provision. Seven Democratic senators continue pushing for stronger conflict-of-interest rules — a direct reference to @realDonaldTrump's #crypto ties.
