Democrats Introduce Bill Targeting Trump’s Crypto Ventures Ahead of Key Dinner
Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) unveiled legislation Thursday aimed at prohibiting U.S. presidents, vice presidents, and congressional members from owning or launching cryptocurrency assets during their tenure. Dubbed the ’Stop TRUMP in Crypto Act of 2025,’ the bill directly targets former President Donald Trump, whose post-office crypto ventures have reportedly generated billions in unrealized gains.
The timing appears deliberate—Waters’ office confirmed the bill was introduced hours before Trump’s scheduled crypto industry dinner, signaling escalating political tensions over digital asset regulation. While no specific coins or exchanges are named in the proposal, the move underscores growing scrutiny of cryptocurrency’s intersection with political influence.
