A proposed US bill, the CLARITY Act, would impose strict ethics rules barring federal officials from issuing or sponsoring their own cryptocurrencies until 2029. Senator Cynthia Lummis, a key advocate, confirmed that the language would apply to US presidents’ crypto ventures, including those of Donald Trump. The bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest by prohibiting high-ranking officials from launching or backing personal token projects while in office. If enacted, the rules would cover the president, members of Congress, and other federal employees, effectively freezing any new official-linked token initiatives for the next four years. The proposal signals growing bipartisan concern over the intersection of political power and digital asset markets, potentially reducing speculative hype around politically affiliated tokens. Market participants may view this as a regulatory headwind for token projects tied to public figures, though the bill remains in early legislative stages.
