Minnesota legislators have introduced a bill aiming to prohibit cryptocurrency ATMs statewide, marking one of the strictest regulatory measures against such devices in the United States. According to ChainCatcher, House File 3642, proposed by DFL Representative Erin Koegel, seeks to ban the placement and operation of virtual currency ATMs across Minnesota and dismantle the existing regulatory framework established in 2024. The proposal has garnered support from law enforcement and consumer advocacy groups, who argue that these machines have become a primary tool for scammers, particularly in schemes targeting the elderly. The Minnesota Department of Commerce strongly backs the bill, citing the ineffectiveness of current safeguards against sophisticated fraud. The bill must pass the state House and Senate before being sent to the governor for approval. The Minnesota legislative session will continue until May 2026.#Minnesota #Cryptocurrency #ATMs #Legislators #Bill #Fraud #ConsumerProtection #LawEnforcement #ErinKoegel #HouseFile3642 #VirtualCurrency #Regulation #Scammers #Elderly #MinnesotaLegislation
