Democrats Strike Back with COIN Act: Blocking Trump & Officials from Crypto Profits
Washington draws a hard line on political crypto plays.

The COIN Act just dropped like a regulatory hammer—and it’s aimed squarely at Trump and Co. Democrats are slamming the door on public officials cashing in on crypto trades, framing it as a 'public trust firewall.' No more backroom Bitcoin bonanzas.

- Enforcement would require disclosures sharper than a trader’s stop-loss trigger.
- Critics whisper it’s more about political theater than actual market reform—after all, since when did D.C. miss a chance to grandstand?
