Texas Seeks to Integrate Cryptocurrency ATMs in Federal Buildings

Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas has urged the General Services Administration (GSA) to install cryptocurrency ATMs within federal buildings, aiming to expand financial access for American citizens. His request comes amidst concerns about rising scams associated with crypto ATMs and kiosks, as evidenced by a significant increase in complaints reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). Gooden argues that incorporating these ATMs into public spaces would better reflect the growing trend of cryptocurrency adoption within the United States. This move aligns with former President Trump’s vision for the US to become a leading force in the crypto space.
