Nine US states have introduced crypto-related bills in February, covering topics from Bitcoin reserves to digital asset task forces, reflecting growing state-level interest in blockchain regulation.
The surge follows the 2024 elections, where the crypto industry spent nearly $250 billion backing pro-crypto candidates.
Among recent proposals:
North Carolina introduced the NC Digital Assets Investments Act on Feb. 10, allowing public fund investments in crypto ETPs with at least $750 billion market cap. Investments are capped at 10% of state funds.
House Speaker Destin Hall said the move aligns with President Trump’s vision of US leadership in crypto innovation.
The trend signals a broader push for state-level crypto adoption across the US.
