According to Cointelegraph, the Illinois State Legislature has passed the budget for the fiscal year 2027, which includes a provision to impose a 0.2% tax on cryptocurrency transactions, to be collected by digital asset brokers. This measure, referred to as the "privilege tax," is part of the amendment to the "Digital Asset Privilege Tax Act," which includes registration requirements for any digital asset broker operating in Illinois.

Starting from January 1, brokers who fail to comply with the relevant regulations may be classified as a Class 3 felony in the state, facing two to five years of imprisonment and a fine of up to $25,000. The budget has been approved by the state legislature on Monday but still requires the signature of Governor JB Pritzker to take effect. JB Pritzker has publicly stated multiple times that he plans to sign the bill as soon as possible, but as of Friday morning, he has not yet signed it. Legislators expect that the cryptocurrency tax will generate $60 million in revenue for the state.
