Life & Work
Crypto startups and digital asset companies would lose the ability to partner with or compensate elected officials and their families. Companies required to file with the SEC would be barred from transacting in digital assets on behalf of covered individuals. This narrows some business relationships but could create a fairer playing field by removing political favoritism from the industry.
“An issuer required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may not issue or sell, or otherwise transact with respect to, a digital asset on behalf of a covered individual.”
