The Illinois Senate has passed Senate Bill 1797, also known as the Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act, with a vote of 39 to 17. This bill aims to regulate digital asset firms operating in the state in response to a surge in scams and fraud cases, particularly involving meme coins. The new regulatory framework seeks to address how these scam tokens have led to financial losses for investors. The bill grants the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation authority to oversee digital asset businesses serving state residents.
