Which senators invest in crypto? 11 lawmakers have blockchain-related investments
The US Senate voted 66-32 to advance the GENIUS Act, establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, with bipartisan support. Concerns arose over potential corruption linked to senators' investments in cryptocurrencies. Senator Michael Bennet introduced the STABLE GENIUS Act to prohibit Congress members from investing in digital currencies and mandate blind trusts for their crypto holdings. Several senators have disclosed investments in crypto-related firms, including Tim Sheehy, Steve Daines, Jacky Rosen, Dan Sullivan, Markwayne Mullin, Tommy Tuberville, Katie Britt, Bernie Moreno, Shelley Capito, Dave McCormick, and Sheldon Whitehouse. These investments range from shares in crypto ETFs to stakes in companies like PayPal and eToro. Lawmakers face scrutiny as they navigate the evolving landscape of cryptocurrency regulation while holding personal financial interests in the sector.
