STABLE GENIUS Act

The STABLE GENIUS Act prohibits federal elected officials (including members of Congress, the President, Vice President, and candidates for these offices) from holding or trading digital assets (like cryptocurrencies) during their election campaigns, while serving in office, and for one year after leaving office. The only exception allows them to place digital assets into an ethics-approved "qualified blind trust," which must divest within six months and require annual certifications from the trustee. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $250,000 or criminal charges for large financial losses or personal profit. The bill directly affects all federal lawmakers and candidates, aiming to prevent conflicts of interest with digital asset investments.
