Trump's threat to block Congress over voter-ID law leaves crypto bill on shakier ground

At a Republican event, the U.S. president delivered a speech that doubled down on recent comments he won't sign anything else until he gets the voting bill. What to know : President Donald Trump is demanding a new voter-ID law that would also carry the torch for his opposition of transgender athletes in women's sports — a tall order for a sluggish Senate, and he says he won't sign any other laws until it happens. That could be a worrisome position for a crypto industry that hopes, after years of effort, that it can advance a market structure bill through the Senate in the coming months. If the Clarity Act finally finds that kind of success, it may then test the new rhetorical stance of Trump, who has been calling for the crypto bill's completion since early last year.
