Senator Elizabeth Warren has asked the SEC to investigate President Trump over ethics concerns linked to his personal crypto holdings, injecting political conflict directly into the legislative path of the Clarity Act. The bill, which would establish jurisdiction and disclosure standards for digital assets, is already short on floor time before congressional recess.

The SEC investigation angle also raises the possibility of opportunistic enforcement actions that could affect digital asset market structure.
