Let's all come back on Jan 1, 2075, and see how accurate this is!

A North Dakota bill that places various safeguards on cryptocurrency ATMs, including a daily transaction cap and mandatory fraud warnings, has passed the Senate. On March 18, House Bill 1447 cleared the Senate in a 45-to-1 vote , bringing it a step closer to becoming law. The bill, introduced in January, is designed to curb scams and tighten oversight of crypto ATM operators. If signed into law, the bill would require ATM operators to be licensed as money transmitters and enforce a $2,000 daily transaction limit across their machines. It also mandates fraud warning notices at kiosks and quarterly reports on ATM locations, transaction data, and operator details. As previously reported by crypto.news, the bill originally proposed a $1,000 daily cap, but lawmakers later adjusted the limit to $2,000 for the first five transactions within 30 days. Now, the Senate has simplified it to a straight $2,000 cap per day. Additionally, operators must use blockchain analytics to flag suspicious activity and report potential fraud to authorities. The bill now heads back to the House for approval of these changes before landing on Governor Kelly Armstrong’s desk. As crypto ATM scams become more popular, the bill aims to introduce much-needed safeguards to protect residents from financial losses. During a Jan. 22 hearing, Lisa Kruse, North Dakota’s financial institutions commissioner, noted that locals had filed 103 crypto scam complaints with the FBI in 2023, with reported losses hitting $6.5 million. Meanwhile, House Representative Steve Swiontek, who sponsored the bill, argued that the lack of regulation made crypto ATMs an easy target for crypto scammers. Crypto ATMs are widely available across the US, with nearly 30,000 machines in operation. However, increasing fraud cases have pushed regulators to introduce new laws aimed at cracking down on misuse. Last week, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed a similar bill into law , tightening rules for crypto ATM operators. The Controllable Electronic Record Fraud Prevention Act, part of Legislative Bill 609, introduced new licensing and reporting requirements to curb fraud.

Fundstrat’s Tom Lee maintains a positive and bullish outlook on bitcoin and the Trump administration’s handling of the economy. He acknowledged that, from a “shorter lens,” Trump’s actions “look very disruptive at the moment,” yet he believes the structural impact of these decisions is “really positive.” Lee emphasized that despite the market’s turbulence, there are “tangible drivers of productivity” at play, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the financial shifts driven by crypto. He reaffirmed his stance that BTC will be the top-performing asset this year. Lee stated: Bitcoin is still our favorite idea for this year. So we think it’ll be the best performing asset class, even better than gold. Bitcoin (BTC) has not led the markets in 2025, and on Feb. 21, it hovered just above $99,500 before beginning a downward trajectory, ultimately hitting a low of $76,600 on March 10. Gold, in contrast, climbed past the $3,000 mark on March 14 and has appreciated 13.7% against the U.S. dollar since the start of the year. Meanwhile, bitcoin has declined 9.6% against the dollar since Jan. 1, 2025. At press time, at $84,375 per coin, BTC is down 22.4% below its all-time price high. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
