President Donald Trump agreed to new ethics rules in order to advance a cryptocurrency bill. The rules apply to him as well, and were a condition for the bill's progress. Trump consented to a measure barring him and his wife from issuing certain types of coins.

A tougher ethics proposal was also agreed to by Trump, as demanded by key senators. The outcome of a Senate vote on the cryptocurrency bill is uncertain, and hinges on whether Trump's concessions are sufficient.

Further details on the bill and its implications for the $2.3 trillion market are available, as the Senate prepares for a pivotal vote.
