TREE NEWS update: US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand urged Congress to ban the president, spouses, and senior officials from issuing, promoting, or profiting from cryptocurrency during their terms, and to include enforceable ethics rules in the digital asset market structure bill. A poll found 63% of Americans view Trump’s crypto profits as inappropriate, while Trump disclosed over $1.4 billion in crypto-related income for 2025. The bill faces a procedural vote on September 15, requiring 60 votes.
Senator Gillibrand Pushes Crypto Profit Ban for President in Market Bill
Gillibrand is linking market-structure legislation to executive-branch ethics, which reframes a technical bill as a conflict-of-interest fight and complicates its path to 60 votes. The disclosed income and polling give the push political weight beyond partisan lines, since the measure would bind future presidents of either party. Whether ethics language survives the procedural stage — or becomes a bargaining chip that stalls the bill — is the open question.
