> The Massachusetts senator said presidents should not auction access for profit from cryptocurrency dealings, citing corruption and financial-integrity risks.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for legislation to prohibit the president from auctioning access for profit from cryptocurrency dealings, arguing that such arrangements could create corruption and financial-integrity risks.

Warren said legislation should safeguard the integrity of presidential cryptocurrency dealings. Her call follows congressional scrutiny of President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency-related income and holdings.

Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure listed more than $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related income, including proceeds tied to CIC Digital, World Liberty Financial token sales, equity sales and Stablecoin Holdco.

The issue comes as lawmakers debate crypto legislation. The Senate blocked the [CLARITY Act from advancing in a 49-50 vote](<https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/24688>), with Democratic objections including ethics, consumer protection, illicit finance and market integrity.

Warren previously led a request for a public Senate Banking Committee hearing on prediction markets and sought a Government Accountability Office review of staffing and enforcement capacity at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
