Indiana lawmakers are weighing bills that would cautiously expand crypto’s role in public finance while tightening consumer protections. One proposal would allow certain public pension participants to access cryptocurrency investments through self-directed brokerage accounts and permit limited exposure to crypto ETFs. Another bill targets crypto ATM scams by requiring operator licensing, identity checks, fee caps, transaction limits, installation approvals, and full refunds for fraud victims. Supporters say the measures balance innovation with stronger safeguards as debate continues at the Statehouse.
