Anthony Scaramucci expects President Donald Trump to approve a bipartisan ethics agreement tied to the CLARITY Act, a move that could clear a key Senate hurdle for the cryptocurrency market structure bill. The revised ethics package, negotiated by Republican Senator Thom Tillis and Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego, would empower state attorneys general to enforce rules, addressing a previous Democratic objection. Despite this development, Polymarket traders have cut the bill’s passage odds for this year from 30% to 25%. Scaramucci warned lawmakers on X that those who obstruct the bill will face political consequences in November.
Anthony Scaramucci said on X that President Trump will likely support a negotiated ethics provision for the CLARITY Act. He questioned who would continue opposing the legislation if the president accepts it.
“If POTUS ultimately signs off, which I think he will, who will stand in the way of Clarity?” Scaramucci wrote. He warned that Democrats or Republicans blocking the bill “will regret it in November.”
The bipartisan ethics package was submitted to the White House for review. It provides state attorneys general with an opportunity to enforce the rules, addressing Democratic criticism that previous versions gave enforcement power only to federal prosecutors.
The legislation must pass through the full Senate process. Senator Cynthia Lummis has stated a vote may occur before the August recess, leaving one week until the deadline.
Polymarket traders now give the CLARITY Act a 25% probability of being signed into law this year, down from 30% earlier in the week. The decline reflects trader concerns over the Senate’s limited schedule.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has urged the Senate to consider the bill immediately. Grayscale also wrote to Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, requesting a floor vote before the summer recess.
