Crypto Trading Ban for Government Officials and Their Families

This new law aims to restrict the ability of selected government officials and their close family members to own and trade cryptocurrencies. The goal is to prevent the use of confidential information for personal financial gain. Citizens can expect greater transparency in the actions of high-ranking public officials.
Key points
The President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and their spouses and children will be prohibited from owning cryptocurrencies in a way that gives them control.
These officials cannot own or manage crypto-issuing companies, nor receive compensation for their sale or promotion.
The ban includes trading digital assets if the official possesses material non-public information that could affect their value.
The act aims to prevent circumvention of rules through intermediaries like trusts or corporations.
