#MEMEAct

The MEME Act (Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act) is a U.S. legislative proposal introduced in 2025 to ban politicians and top government officials—and their families—from profiting off digital assets like meme coins. Sparked by controversies involving Donald and Melania Trump’s meme coins, the bill aims to prevent public officials from exploiting their positions for personal financial gain. It proposes criminal and civil penalties for violations. Though supported by Democrats, it faces resistance in the Republican-led Congress.
