Calls to ban stock trading by members of the U.S. Congress have gained bipartisan support amid concerns over potential corruption and conflicts of interest. Advocates argue that allowing lawmakers to trade individual stocks and cryptocurrencies undermines public trust and invites unethical behavior. Proposals include requiring all serving members of Congress to place their assets in blind trusts to eliminate personal financial incentives tied to legislative decisions. The debate reflects growing public demand for increased transparency and accountability in federal government financial dealings.
