This week, the United States saw the enactment of various laws concerning crypto assets in New Hampshire, Arizona, and Oregon. These legislative decisions encompass regulations on investment, securities, and defining when crypto assets are considered “abandoned.” While each law serves different purposes, they collectively signify a broader recognition of cryptocurrency by the US. Each of the three states officially acknowledging crypto assets marks a significant step forward for the credibility of cryptocurrencies.

New Hampshire’s Crypto Reserve Initiative

In New Hampshire, the passage of HB302 marks a pivotal step toward establishing a crypto asset reserve. Under this law, the state treasurer is now authorized to invest in crypto assets with a market capitalization exceeding 500 billion dollars, which currently applies only to Bitcoin $107,040. While the law does not mandate the creation of a reserve, it lays the groundwork for such an undertaking.

“New Hampshire reassumes its leadership in crypto within the country. This law provides investment opportunities in crypto assets.” – Governor Kelly Ayotte

Arizona’s Diverging Crypto Approaches

Arizona witnessed varying approaches from Governor Katie Hobbs concerning two crypto-related laws. The vetoing of SB1025, intended to allow up to 10% of state funds to be invested in crypto assets, made headlines. Conversely, HB2749 was approved, classifying crypto assets with no transactions for three years as abandoned, permitting their transfer to state reserves.

“This decision may lead to negative outcomes in the long run.” – Jameson Lopp

Jameson Lopp’s critique holds weight because the nature of cryptocurrencies does not traditionally support the concept of transfer to state ownership as inheritance. Inactivity itself supports the scarcity of crypto assets. Today, significant amounts of BTC remain dormant due to forgotten access or owners passing away. Nakamoto’s example points to billions potentially lying eternally untouched. This transfer concept may apply to individuals without heirs and involve citizens using centralized exchanges.

Oregon’s Legal Update

Oregon, through the newly passed SB167, updated its commercial laws to encompass crypto assets. The amendment allows crypto assets like Bitcoin to function as collateral in transactions similar to mortgages. Moreover, the new regulation establishes a framework for controllable electronic records, encouraging the integration of crypto assets with traditional financial products.

These legislative moves aim to provide a legal foundation for crypto assets akin to efforts in other states like Utah and Kentucky. The consistency indicates a continuing trend of increasing regulations.

The map above illustrates the status of crypto reserve laws across states. The approvals concerning the three mentioned states are just recent developments.

These legal regulations across the US aim to fortify the integration of digital assets into the financial system, offering crucial insights for investors and market stakeholders. The states’ varied approaches provide clues about the potential future applications of digital assets and diversification of financial products.
