New Hampshire has won the race among the US states to reduce laws to allow digital assets investment and/or reserve.
How soon should we expect a wave of others?
Arizona village. For Katie Hobbes Desk, as yesterday, there was a law to establish a “Digital Asset Strategic Reserve Fund” run by a state treasurer.
But Hobbes could veto it, given that they rejected a separate bill last week to invest up to 10% in the state’s public funds “virtual currency holdings”. He called They “unused investment.”
So if Arizona is not ahead, then who will be? Perhaps Northern Carolina or Texas, compiling filing Here prompt.
North Carolina’s Digital Assets Investments Act will authorize the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of any specified funds in “qualifying digital assets”. It passed a second reading in the House (71-44) on 30 April and went to the Senate.
The bill will “check” the members of the state retirement income scheme to allow members of such investment (through Crypto ETP) and allowing a state reserve to study a state reserve to capture or seized the seized crypto.

Green told me, “For a long time, such laws would lack value and supply, as states and other institutional institutions scrambled to deposit more bitcoins,” Green told me.

In November X PostTexas village. Greg Abbott wrote: “Texas is already home to crypto mining. This session should become Texas Crypto Capital.”
Falconx Research Head David Lant said that he too expects at least a few more states to implement such laws in the next six to 12 months.
But he is looking for a bitcoin policy institute framework (set for release in June), which aims to help states to craft effective BTC Reserve laws.
“A common issue with many existing proposals is that they are not clearly written or thoughtfully structured, as they can be,” Lant told me.
This is enough to say, there is a lot from where it has come.
