Republican lawmakers have proposed to install cryptocurrency ATMs in the US federal building. A spokesman for Lance Gooden wrote on May 1 to Stephen Ehikian, a representative of the GSA (General Services Administration).
The Trump Alliance Proposal proposed as a “educational resource”
One of the famous Republican allies of the president, GOODEN recommended that the establishment of an encryption ATM in the government building would be a “educational resource” for the public.
He began to explore the guidelines and regulations needed to install such machines in federal -owned real estate in the country.
According to the public document submitted with the House of Representatives, GOODEN has not declared a Cryptocurrency Investment or ATM company since it was elected in 2019, and there is no financial disclosure reported in the public record provided to TEXAS representatives as of 2025.

The authority question has not been answered
GSA regulates and manages government -owned real estate. According to the website, we can provide a space for the Federal Credit Union ATM, but it is not clear whether Ehikian can expand these regulations to the Digital Asset ATM provided by a private company.
According to the report, Eriki, swore by US President Donald Trump, may not be obliged to introduce this type of ATM without the consent of Congress. The report also said that the finance of such efforts could require parliamentary acts.
The president’s encryption connection is questioned.
Trump, meanwhile, has a wide range of participation with digital coins and asset companies in many ways. This varies in his individual investment, presidential campaign account, family support company and Trump Mement Coin.
Trump is said to have hosted dinner for major holders of memes coins at Washington DC in April. This link creates a question about the potential policy impact on the cryptocurrency infrastructure of the government building.
The Senate considers stronger encryption ATM regulations.
GOODEN’s bills are considered by the Senate to fight fraud using digital currency ATM. In February, Senator Illinois, Dick Durbin, introduced encryption ATM prevention methods with the goal of establishing a “common sense guard rail” for frauds that harmed many elderly Americans.
This timing provides Durbin for more protection from abuse of the same system as GOODEN’s initiative to expand access to Crypto technology.
This causes the debate over how to achieve a balance between innovation and consumer protection in the world of cryptocurrencies.
