#MEMEAct
Politics and crypto collide in 2025
The U.S. Congress is ablaze with the introduction of the MEME Act (Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act), a proposal that seeks to prohibit presidents, congress members, and their families from launching or promoting cryptocurrencies like the famous meme coins.
What's the spark? The launch of $TRUMP, a meme coin promoted by Donald Trump himself before he assumes his second term. This token generated over $320 million in fees and offered exclusive benefits to top holders, such as private dinners and access to presidential events.
Senators like Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal have expressed their concerns about potential conflicts of interest and corruption, noting that such initiatives could allow public officials to enrich themselves by taking advantage of their position.
The MEME Act aims to establish clear limits and prevent political figures from using cryptocurrencies for personal gain, thus protecting the integrity of the financial system and public trust.
