Odaily Planet Daily News: Whether the bipartisan bill to restrict lawmakers' stock trading should also apply to the cryptocurrencies they hold has divided the two sponsors of the House stock ban legislation. It is reported that Democratic Representative Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Republican Representative Chip Roy of Saskatchewan are leading the promotion of the bill, which requires stocks to be placed in a blind trust so that lawmakers cannot use privileged information to trade. Abigail Spanberger insists that stocks and cryptocurrencies are similar in that their value is affected by legislators. Their conflict is the latest indicator of the emerging crypto industry's growing visibility in Washington, and more than $100 million in funds have been used to support the election of crypto-friendly politicians who may help create a more favorable regulatory environment, but Chip Roy does not think so.
