Trump’s crypto dealings face scrutiny as House Republicans unveil digital asset bill
US President Donald Trump’s crypto companies are attracting an increased examination of Capitol Hill and are starting to influence the progress of American legislation on digital assets. While the republican legislators of the American House of Representatives have unveiled their bill on the structure of the digital asset market on May 5, the Democrats prepared for a united response to the in -depth links of Donald Trump with the industry.
Addressing Cointelegraph on May 5, a member of the Democratic staff who has knowledge of the case said that the member of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee, Maxine Waters, planned to lead certain members of his party by a hearing led by the Republican discussing digital assets. The hearing of May 6, entitled “American innovation and the future of digital assets” and led by the president of the French Hill committee, could address the bill proposed by republican legislators to establish a regulatory structure of the cryptographic market.
In a press release on May 5, representative Hill and three main Republicans unveiled the bill, which could clarify the treatment of digital assets by the United States financial regulators: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Hill and others have echoed Trump’s discussion points on the crypto – for example, making the United States a “cryptographic world capital” – suggesting a deference to the president’s previously announced policies.
The bill included a provision requiring the dry and the CFTC to issue joint rules defining digital products. According to the text, transactions involving digital products “will be deemed not to be an offer or sale of an investment contract” until the buyer had “participation or another interest in income, profits or assets”.
According to the Democratic staff member, the rules have forced all members of the Chamber’s Financial Services Committee to agree to progress with the audience of digital assets, suggesting that Waters intended to block the Republican controlled event and lead a ghost audience to explore Trump’s ties and his family with cryptographic industry. At least nine democrats would have considered a similar decision to oppose a bill on stables in the Senate.
Calls for dismissal, criticism on both sides
Some members of the Congress have already called for the dismissal of Trump after having offered the opportunity for some of his best holders of the same to visit the White House and attend a private dinner. In addition to the same, the president’s family supported the Firm World Liberty Financial Financial, which recently launched its own stablecoin, and an investment company based in Abu Dhabi used the Stablecoin USD1 to settle an investment of $ 2 billion in Binance.

In relation: The American senator calls for the dismissal of Trump, quotes the same dinner
Waters, according to the staff member, asked that Hill and the Republicans modify any proposed legislation to explicitly prevent the potential conflicts of interest in which Trump could be enriched personally by Crypto Ventures. Cointelegraph contacted Hill’s office but did not receive an answer at the time of publication. The Arkansas legislator reportedly declared in March that the involvement of the Trump family in the cryptographic industry made the legislation related “more complicated”.
Republican legislators in the United States are currently controlling the Chamber, the Senate and the Presidency. At least two supported senators of Trump criticized his same dinner, suggesting that the president sold access to his office. It is not clear at the time of publication which, among the same holders, could attend the dinner of May 22 in person.
