Gillibrand Calls for Legislation to Ban Elected Officials and Spouses from Issuing Meme Coins, Seeks Inclusion in Crypto Regulation Bill
According to reports, Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, following the release of Trump's financial disclosure, once again urged Congress to push for legislation to prohibit the president, members of Congress, and other elected officials and their spouses from issuing or sponsoring any digital assets (including meme coins). Gillibrand stated that if public officials simultaneously operate their own cryptocurrency projects, it could undermine market trust in the regulatory system, so she hopes to incorporate relevant ethical norms into the crypto bill currently under discussion.
She also pointed out that the United States is actively advancing cryptocurrency regulatory legislation to establish more comprehensive consumer protection and market standards.

According to reports, Republicans and some lawmakers hold differing views on whether ethics provisions regarding elected officials issuing crypto assets should be included in the overall crypto regulation bill; some lawmakers believe that related issues should be addressed through separate legislation to avoid affecting the progress of broader bills concerning market structure and regulatory reform.
The Senate is currently continuing to discuss multiple cryptocurrency-related bills, and the timeline for bringing the ethics provisions to a full floor vote remains uncertain.
