Maxine Waters has objected to this, calling for legislation that could ban the president and members of Congress from owning a crypto asset or firm.As also indicated in our previous blog post, Maxine has raised concerns about Trump’s ties with the crypto sector, especially with the ambition of his family venture, World Liberty Financial. Similarly, Senator Elizabeth Warren has raised red flags over the president’s family meme coins, as highlighted in our earlier discussion.Meanwhile, there have been several non-crypto-related speculations on the supposed “big announcement”. According to some commentators, this could be about a possible ceasefire in Gaza, a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, or even a nuclear deal with Iran.
