What is Yield Farming in Crypto? (Animated Explanation)
Several Democratic lawmakers have proposed changes necessary to reduce conflicts of interest in the crypto industry. Representative Maxine Waters of California put forward four alternative versions of the GENIUS Act.
Her proposals raised concerns about potential self-dealing by public officials, particularly those associated with President Donald Trump. Waters pointed to President Trump’s ties to World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and its USD1 stablecoin, along with the Official Trump meme coin, as examples of potential conflicts.
One of her amendments would block any president, vice president, member of Congress, or their close relatives from owning or promoting cryptocurrencies. Another would prevent the US Treasury from recognizing stablecoin rules in any country whose leader has referred to themselves as a dictator.
On the other side, Republican Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio suggested adding protections for individuals who use hardware or software wallets to hold their own digital assets. His amendment repeats language already included in the CLARITY Act, aimed at supporting personal control over crypto holdings.
