Ethics Watchdog bars US Government employees from writing crypto policy if invested
A legal advisory notice issued by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Tuesday declared that U.S. officials who are personally invested in cryptocurrencies are now disqualified from working on crypto-related policy and regulation that could affect the value of their assets.
The directive applies to all White House staff and the employees of all federal agencies, including the Federal Reserve and Treasury Department.
