COIN Act: U.S. Senate Seeks to Ban Crypto Activity for Presidents, VPs, and Their Families
Senator Adam Schiff, along with nine other Democrats, has introduced the COIN (Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure) Act, which proposes:
🔒 A full ban on the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their immediate families from:
creating cryptocurrencies,
promoting memecoins, NFTs, and stablecoins,
profiting from any crypto activity — before, during, and after holding office (180 days before and 2 years after).
📢 Mandatory disclosure of any crypto asset sale over $1,000.
🧾 Penalties: confiscation of illegal profits + up to 5 years in prison.
Why is this important?
📌 This bill comes after the scandal involving Donald Trump, who, according to financial disclosures, earned $57 million from crypto in 2024, including from the memecoin WLFI.
Another token sale worth $390 million is expected in 2025.
What’s interesting 🤔
Schiff previously supported the GENIUS Act, which regulates stablecoins but does not restrict presidential crypto involvement.
The COIN Act has stirred political debate — some view it as a direct move against Trump.
It still needs to pass the Republican-led House of Representatives — the battle is far from over.
Summary ✅
The COIN Act aims to set clear ethical boundaries for top officials in the crypto space. If passed, presidents will no longer be allowed to profit from crypto projects like Trump did.
🗳 What do you think — a necessary move for transparency or a political weapon?
