A Texas lawmaker failed to disclose the purchase of 500,000 dollars worth of Bitcoin within the deadline.

According to Gate News bot, as reported by OpenSecrets, Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill failed to properly disclose his Bitcoin purchase of up to $500,000 within the federally mandated 45-day period, raising new questions about the transparency of lawmakers in Crypto Assets investments and potential conflicts of interest.

Gill reported that he purchased Bitcoin worth between $100,000 and $250,000 on January 29 and February 27, respectively, but only disclosed these transactions on Monday, far exceeding the deadline set by the STOCK Act.

The bill was passed in 2012, aimed at curbing insider trading and ensuring accountability by requiring lawmakers to report securities trades (including those involving digital assets) in a timely manner. However, the law seems to lack enforceability, with violators facing only a $200 fine and often being exempted by the House Ethics Committee.

Currently, in terms of the pattern, the market will further experience rebounds. After recovering the middle band, long positions will see further higher trade volumes. The four-hour chart shows a bottom rebound action again, with the current K-line breaking through the upper band resistance, further moving upwards. The Bollinger Bands are flattening, and the support below is gradually rising. Indicators indicate a bottom divergence signal after yesterday's pullback. Both the pattern and indicators suggest the recovery of long positions. It is recommended to continue maintaining the strategy of buying.
