There has been a lot of talk about highly successful – and often suspiciously successful –  stock market trades made by U.S. elected officials.  Looking at the profits of various members of Congress, this is hardly surprising as, for example, Representative Brian Higgins had a return on investment higher than 200% in 2023, while Representative Nancy Pelosi made ten times her annual salary within four months on a single stock.

Ethereum had an all -time high market cap of $575.899 billion on November 10, 2021, according to TradingView ’s CRYPTOCAP index. Meanwhile, Ether trade d for as high as $...
