#MEME法案 / $TRUMP
U.S. Senator Chris Murphy recently formally introduced the "Modern Compensation and Misconduct Enforcement Act" (MEME Act), which aims to prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, senior officials, and their immediate family members from issuing, promoting, or profiting from any financial assets (including cryptocurrencies and meme coins). The background of this legislation is the increasing attention to the phenomenon of “political coins” in recent years, such as the $TRUMP meme coin themed around Trump, whose hype has raised questions about conflicts of power and interest.
Upon its introduction, the bill sparked heated discussions in both the crypto and political circles. On one hand, supporters believe this move helps maintain the independence of public power and prevents senior officials from using their influence to manipulate markets and mislead retail investors. On the other hand, opponents worry that this may restrict the rights of officials and their families to legitimately participate in emerging economic fields.
The crypto market has always been centered around decentralization and free innovation, but when political power intertwines with financial instruments, should there be clearer boundaries? If this bill is passed, the future survival space for “political coins” like $TRUMP may be significantly compressed.
Do you think political figures and their families should be prohibited from participating in the issuance or promotion of crypto assets? Is this an important step towards strengthening compliance and ensuring fair trading? Feel free to share your views in the comments! #MEME法案
