#MEMEAct
Representative Sam Liccardo (D-CA) introduced the MEME Act ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ โ short for Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement โ to ban politicians (like Trump) from launching or profiting from meme coins ๐ช๐ซ.
This comes after Trump and Melania launched their own meme coins ๐ธ๐ฐ, raising concerns about ethics and corruption โ๏ธ๐ฅ.
The bill would:
Prohibit high-ranking officials & families from creating/promoting crypto ๐ท๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ
Apply criminal & civil penalties โ๏ธ๐ธ
Be retroactive to past profits ๐ฐ๏ธ๐
Itโs unlikely to pass in a GOP-controlled Congress ๐๏ธโ, but it sends a strong message about crypto and political power โ ๏ธ๐ณ๏ธ.
