Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged President Donald Trump to voluntarily release a detailed financial disclosure of his cryptocurrency earnings by July 23, citing potential conflicts of interest. This request follows Trump's 2025 financial disclosures, which revealed earnings of $1.4 billion from crypto-related ventures, including his memecoin Official Trump (TRUMP).
In a letter sent Thursday, Warren highlighted concerns that pending cryptocurrency market structure legislation, such as the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, could further increase the value of the President's and his family's digital asset holdings without adequate ethical safeguards. The CLARITY Act is slated for a vote in the Senate before the chamber's August recess.
Trump, in a July 2 interview, stated that his crypto investments were legal and that there was "nothing wrong" with profiting from them while in office. The Senate is expected to vote on the CLARITY Act, which has passed the House of Representatives, before the upcoming break. However, some Democrats have indicated they will not support the bill without stronger ethics provisions, specifically referencing Trump's potential conflicts.
Meanwhile, the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence held a hearing on the CLARITY Act on Friday. While the bill has been described as a bipartisan priority, no Democratic representatives were reportedly present at the hearing.
