🚨NEWS: Senate Republicans have released new Clarity Act text featuring a revised ethics proposal agreed to by President Trump.

The text also contains changes to the sections on the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), stablecoin yield, and the so-called “Ag title.”

Republicans are calling it their “last, best and final” offer to Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s cloture vote.

Some high-level details.👇🏼

On BRCA: The provision has been narrowed to the Bank Secrecy Act and civil enforcement. Specific language extending its protections to criminal cases, including prosecutions under Section 1960, has been removed.

On ethics: Trump has agreed to what a GOP aide describes as “80%” of the Tillis-Gallego ethics proposal including to either divest “substantial” crypto-related financial interests or place them in a blind trust. It would also allow a role for state attorneys general to enforce ethics provisions, something which the White House had previously balked at.

On yield: Added “circuit breaker” language (floated by Tillis in July) that would effectively act as a backstop by allowing federal regulators to intervene if there was evidence of widespread deposit flight from community banks to stablecoins. The federal regulator that will be the arbiter of this: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

On Ag: The updated text adds tighter guardrails around vertical integration, including affiliate trading and conflicts of interest involving digital commodity exchanges, brokers and dealers. It also clarifies that state consumer protection laws still apply and that developer protections do not create exemptions from derivatives laws or impact prediction markets.

More to come in the @CryptoAmerica_ newsletter tomorrow AM.

@sterlsav The most adorable post on X 💛

We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026.

The data exposed:

- Full names
- Shipping addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses

The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy).

All affected customers have been contacted separately by email.

Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts.

NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels.

We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected.

We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog:

A reminder to never enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone!

[Detroit Blockchain Collective @DetBlockchain]

🚨A reminder following our crypto security workshop last night! There’s an increase in phishing websites impersonating wallets & platforms you trust. These sites look legit. Entering your wallet backup would lead to you having your funds drained! Spread the word & stay safe! 🔐

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

ALERT: A phishing site is appearing as the top sponsored Google result for @Trezor, with the scam page already draining funds from unsuspecting users.
