Regulatory transformations and amnesties
According to Reuters, the Trump administration reversed several cryptocurrency policies after the president’s inauguration. The Justice Department eliminated its cryptocurrency enforcement team, regulators removed banking warnings about cryptocurrency risks, and the Securities and Exchange Commission temporarily halted or dropped lawsuits against cryptocurrency companies. Government ethics experts interviewed by Reuters described the family business’s alignment with US cryptocurrency policy as an “unprecedented conflict of interest.”
President Donald Trump pardoned Binance founder, Changpeng Zhao, last week. Chow spent nearly four months in prison after pleading guilty to anti-money laundering failures. The White House said the previous administration “devastated” US leadership in technology and innovation.
Following the pardon, Binance.US announced plans to list the Trump family’s WLFI token and USD1 stablecoin for trading, drawing criticism from Democratic lawmakers over potential conflicts of interest.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) announced Monday that he is introducing legislation to ban the president, his family, members of Congress, and all elected officials from trading stocks or cryptocurrencies.
Khanna described the proposed ban as a direct response to what he called “blatant corruption” in interviews with MSNBC. The California congressman claimed that Zhao pledged to support global freedom and claimed that the arrangement was illegal.
