Politicians & Meme Coins? A Hard No.

Senator Chris Murphy’s #MEMEAct is making waves — and I stand behind it.

Let me be clear: I don’t think politicians should be banned from owning crypto. They can buy it, hold it, and invest in it just like the rest of us. But when it comes to promoting, launching, or personally selling tokens while in office? That’s where the line needs to be drawn.

Because once you’re in a position of power with access to market-moving info and the ability to shape policy — promoting crypto crosses into conflict-of-interest territory fast. And let’s not kid ourselves: the moment a politician starts shilling a coin, it’s not about innovation. It’s about manipulation.

We’ve seen the chaos when hype trumps trust. Politicians should not be able to drop meme coins named after themselves or push projects they can profit from while writing the rules.

Crypto is for the people, not a political playground.

So yes, they can hold, but no hyping, no launching, and no bag-pumping while in office. NON OF THAT!!!

What do you think? Is that a fair line, or should public officials be all-in or all-out?

Let’s talk.
