#MEME法案 MEME Act ("Modern Compensation and Misconduct Enforcement Act") was jointly proposed by Democratic Congressman Sam Liccardo and Senator Chris Murphy, aiming to curb politicians from using their power to issue or promote Meme coins for personal gain. The immediate trigger was the issuance of the same-named token $TRUMP by former President Trump, which plummeted 85% within two months, resulting in significant losses for 200,000 retail investors. The bill attempts to close existing legal loopholes, defining "politicians issuing coins" as corrupt behavior and granting criminal penalties.
