Bill overview
This bill, known as the STABLE GENIUS Act, aims to prevent high-ranking government officials from engaging in financial transactions involving digital assets. It prohibits covered individuals – including the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their candidates – from buying, selling, or holding cryptocurrencies during election periods, their terms of office, and for a year after leaving office. To comply, officials must place these assets in a qualified blind trust approved by ethics offices, and the trust must be managed without the official’s knowledge or influence. Violations could result in civil penalties and, in cases of significant financial harm, criminal charges.
