The token just hit $0.4758—up 20% in 24 hours—on strong volume from HashKey Global’s regulated platform. But beyond the hype, what’s really driving this move? Let’s unpack the chain signals, regulatory credibility, and why this isn’t just another meme play.

California Senator Adam Schiff has introduced the COIN Act, aiming to prohibit U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents, and their families from engaging in cryptocurrency-related business activities during their tenure.
