Democratic Senator Adam Schiff Introduces COIN Act Targeting Trump's Cryptocurrency Connections
California Senator Adam Schiff unveiled legislation Monday aimed at preventing financial exploitation of digital assets by the president and other public officials.
The Curbing Officials' Income and Nondisclosure (COIN) Act directly responds to President Trump's $57.4 million income disclosure from World Liberty Financial.
Nine Democratic senators joined Schiff in introducing the bill, which would prohibit issuing, sponsoring, or endorsing #cryptocurrencies, meme coins, NFTs, and stablecoins.
The prohibition would extend 180 days before and two years after an individual's time in public office.
The legislation specifically targets payment stablecoins, relevant to World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin launched in March.
Trump's family reportedly reduced its World Liberty Financial stake from 75% to 40% between December and June.
