New Bill Targets Crypto Activities of U.S. Officials, Sparks Political Debate

U.S. Representative Maxine Waters has introduced the ’Stop TRUMP in Crypto Act of 2025,’ a bill designed to restrict cryptocurrency activities among high-ranking government officials. The legislation specifically targets the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their immediate families, prohibiting them from creating, owning, or promoting cryptocurrencies.

The timing of the bill’s unveiling—just hours before a crypto dinner hosted by former President Donald Trump—has amplified its political significance. Waters’ proposal reflects growing scrutiny over the intersection of digital assets and public office, though its broader market impact remains unclear.
