House Democrats staged a dramatic walkout during a digital assets hearing, protesting President Trump’s personal cryptocurrency engagements. Led by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), the move aimed to block legislative progress until provisions preventing presidential profit from crypto activities were added.

The confrontation underscores how political tensions are eroding fragile bipartisan consensus on pending crypto legislation. Waters emphasized the need for safeguards against executive branch conflicts of interest in the rapidly growing digital asset sector.
