The Block reports that President Donald Trump signed new ethics language that would prohibit federal officials from issuing cryptocurrencies and place the Department of Justice in charge of enforcement.
If this holds, the main signal for builders is that US crypto policy is starting to draw explicit lines between officials and token issuance, which could shape how regulators view conflicts of interest more broadly. DOJ enforcement authority is worth watching because criminal-side interpretation tends to be blunter than agency rulemaking. For a small studio issuing tokens on Avalanche or Base this changes little directly, but it's a marker of a tightening ethics posture worth tracking as norms filter down.
