Senate bill 1797 to establish cryptography rules
The Senate of Illinois voted 39 to 17 in favor of the Senate Bill 1797, also known as the law on digital assets and consumer protection. The bill, presented by Senator Mark Walker in February, gives the Illinois financial and professional regulation department the power to supervise digital asset companies at the service of state residents.

The legislation was transferred to the Illinois Chamber for a more in -depth discussion. If it is adopted by the Chamber, he will then be sent to the Governor for final approval.
Same money scandals stretch the demand for surveillance
It should be noted that this legislative push follows a series of scandals involving pieces even. These are digital tokens often motivated by internet trends and are sometimes promoted by public personalities. Although they tend to draw rapid attention and a media threshing, they are just as likely to crash suddenly, leaving investors heavy losses to investors.
A recent case involved the controversial memes piece known as the balance token, linked to the Argentinian president Javier Milei. In March, the initiates would have withdrawn more than $ 100 million in liquidity, triggering an accident of 94% and annihilating around $ 4.5 billion in market value.
Another figure, Hayden Davis, was behind the balanced token and a token called Wolf. The reports show that more than 80% of Wolf supplies remain under the control of an entity. When sold, the token dropped 99%. These cases have raised calls for stronger surveillance, an Argentinian lawyer asking Interpol to issue a red opinion for Davis.
Illinois legislators believe that the new bill is a step towards the protection of residents and the creation of rules in an industry that has grown with little control.
