Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Enforcement and Coordination Act

This bill would create a Federal Cryptocurrency Theft Task Force within the Department of Justice, led by the Attorney General or a designee. The task force would include senior officials from the FBI, Homeland Security, the Treasury Department, and other federal law enforcement agencies. It would coordinate federal investigations and prosecutions of cryptocurrency theft and provide training, guidance, and information sharing with state, local, Tribal, and territorial police, whose participation would be voluntary. The Attorney General would report to Congress each year on the task force's work. The bill states that it does not regulate cryptocurrency, create new crimes, or allow private lawsuits.
