# Scholten Proposes SBA Digital Asset Education

On October 6, 2026, Representative Hillary Scholten introduced the COIN Act, which would direct the Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop educational modules helping small businesses evaluate digital assets, including cryptocurrency. The proposal could lead to future SBA needs for educational content and digital-asset expertise, but the signal identifies no funding, solicitation, or contract opportunity at this time.

- The bill is a proposed legislative action; it does not establish a current procurement or funding opportunity.
- Education providers and digital-asset specialists can assess whether their expertise could support SBA small-business education if the proposal advances and the agency later pursues implementation.
