U.S. Senator Richard Durbin has introduced the "No Bailout for Crypto Act" to prevent federal bailouts for cryptocurrency firms. The bill, introduced on March 19, aims to block taxpayer-backed assistance for digital asset companies during market downturns. It restricts federal agencies from providing emergency support to entities primarily involved in crypto trading, custody, or issuance, reinforcing a separation from traditional financial safeguards.
The legislation, co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Warren, Peter Welch, Bernie Sanders, Tina Smith, and Mazie Hirono, also prohibits the use of federal funds to stabilize losses tied to digital assets. It limits eligibility for assistance even for crypto firms affiliated with federally insured institutions, aiming to prevent indirect access to government support. The bill reflects congressional concerns over potential spillover risks to the broader financial system and seeks to ensure that taxpayers are not liable for losses in the crypto sector.
