[U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand Calls for Market Structure Bill to Include Presidential Cryptocurrency Profit Ban] Odaily Planet Daily News – On August 23, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand stated that Congress should prohibit the president, their spouse, and senior officials from issuing, initiating, or profiting from cryptocurrencies during their term in office. She also called for enforceable ethical bans to be included in the Digital Asset Market Structure Bill. A survey conducted from August 14 to 17, covering 1,166 American adults, revealed that 63% of respondents believe that Trump and his family's cryptocurrency profit activities are inappropriate, while 32% consider them appropriate. In his annual disclosure, Trump revealed that cryptocurrency-related income exceeded $1.4 billion in 2025. The related controversy has extended to the Senate's "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" (CLARITY Act). The bill is set for its first procedural vote in the Senate on September 15, requiring 60 votes to advance the motion. Gillibrand stated she would not vote in favor of allowing the president to profit from public office with taxpayer support. (Bitcoin.com News)
