Congressman Sam Liccardo introduces the MEME Act, aiming to ban political meme coins like TRUMP and penalize those involved, but its success remains uncertain.

Congressman Sam Liccardo has introduced the MEME Act, a bill designed to stop the rise of political meme coins, such as the TRUMP token, and to penalize anyone involved in creating or endorsing these coins. The bill, although unlikely to pass, could serve as an important step toward addressing potential fraud and scams within the crypto space, particularly those involving political figures. Liccardo's proposal has gained attention because of the growing concerns about the rise of political meme coins, which many argue could lead to political corruption in the crypto world.

The TRUMP token's launch sparked significant controversy, especially when it became apparent that nearly half of its investors were newcomers to the crypto market. The token's release was quickly exploited by scammers, who used the hype to steal a significant amount of money from investors in the first few days alone. This prompted Liccardo to act. In a recent interview, he explained his motivation behind the bill, stating, "That wasn’t my plan when I ran for office, I can assure you. [Trump’s] behavior is so self-evidently unethical that it raises the question why isn’t there a clear enough prohibition [on political meme coins]."
