On February 27, 2025, U.S. Congressman Sam LeCure introduced the "MEME Act" aimed at preventing government officials and their family members from making financial gains from cryptocurrencies, including meme coins. This move comes after the launch of the meme coin "TRUMP" associated with former President Donald Trump, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and the exploitation of public office for personal gain. The law aims to prevent elected and federal officials from issuing, endorsing, or promoting digital assets for personal profit. It also stipulates penalties for violators and requires them to forfeit any illicit gains made before the law's enactment. LeCure believes that political influence in financial markets should be subject to similar restrictions as those imposed on traditional assets, emphasizing the need to protect investors from schemes that may exploit their popularity for personal gains by insiders.
