Whistleblowers: Do you want your rewards in cryptocurrency? The Department of State might do so soon, but Congress is worried about tax evasion and will be monitoring those payments.

A new bill demanding a congressional notification prior to payments of United States Department of State rewards using cryptocurrencies has surfaced as Congress raises concerns about the evasion of sanctions.

Congress highlighted the United Nations’ findings that 12 million Ukrainian residents would need humanitarian assistance and that cryptocurrencies have “been used as an effective cross-border payment tool to send millions to the Ukrainian Government, Ukrainian army, and Ukrainian refugees with limited access to financial services.”
