Government personnel who actively engage in cryptocurrencies or are discovered to be in possession of any are prohibited from taking part in the creation of legislation and policies pertaining to cryptocurrencies, according to a recent directive from the US Office of Government Ethics.

With Some Exceptions

Additionally, the advisory notice made clear that even if the restriction is in effect, it only does so with a de minimis exception.


Owners are still able to invest in cryptocurrencies via publicly listed shares and mutual funds of businesses offering cryptocurrency and blockchain services because to this exception. Stablecoins and all other forms of cryptocurrency are included.


Government personnel are still permitted to acquire cryptocurrencies; but, doing so will prevent them from contributing to the development of crypto-related regulations.


They may still work on such initiatives, however, provided they divert their cryptocurrency holdings into other financial opportunities.


The notification went on to further describe the situation, saying "An employee may not engage in a specific topic if the employee understands that particular item might have a direct and predictable influence on the value of their cryptocurrency or stablecoins."


However, even for those who are permitted to invest in cryptocurrency-related stock index listings, a $50k threshold has been imposed over which the de minimis exemption is no longer applicable.

Thus, even without the US GOE's decision, it would only have taken these investors a little longer to leave the market, similar to how many other investors are already doing.
