Capitol Hill is gearing up for fresh legislative action as House Republicans move forward with efforts to restrict stock trading among members of Congress. The push comes as lawmakers prepare to introduce and vote on a sweeping ban on congressional stock trading in the coming weeks.
The proposed legislation represents growing momentum in Washington around curbing what critics argue is insider trading by elected officials. Multiple Republican representatives have signaled their commitment to bringing the measure to a floor vote early in the new year.
This regulatory push reflects broader conversations about market integrity and fairness—issues that resonate not just in traditional equity markets, but across crypto and digital asset spaces where transparency and fair access remain hot-button topics. The outcome could signal how aggressively the new Congress intends to tackle regulatory reforms affecting financial markets more broadly.

Are the lawmakers also going to be regulated now? About time, they are always engaging in insider trading and bleeding retail investors.

Nah, these people ban stock trading, so they turn around and play with crypto, making profits just like with insider information.

Coming back to ban stock trading? Isn't it just to monopolize information advantage?
