A bipartisan pair of U.S. lawmakers introduce legislation that would create a federal task force aimed at combating cryptocurrency theft and supporting victims. The bill, introduced in the House on June 11, is titled the Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Enforcement and Coordination Act. According to the outlets, the proposal would establish a multi-agency effort coordinated under the U.S. attorney general, positioning it to take a lead role in handling cryptocurrency theft cases across law enforcement agencies. The plan is also described as including support for victims of crypto-related crime, not just enforcement. The bill is sponsored by Reps. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.). While details of membership and operating procedures are not fully described in the excerpts, both sources characterize the initiative as a centralized coordination mechanism designed to improve how federal agencies investigate and respond to cryptocurrency theft. The proposal’s next steps would depend on House consideration and any subsequent action by committees and the broader legislative process.
