A document that has previously passed the House of Representatives and the State Senate allows the Treasury to invest up to 5% of state funds into digital assets and precious metals with market capitalization of at least $ 500 million. Today, only bitcoin meets these criteria among cryptocurrencies.

Such an initiative was supported by the House of Arizona representatives, but Katie Gobbs Governor vetoed the law. In Florida, the authorities removed from the consideration of two laws, which provided for the creation of a cryptoresian at the state level.

Previously, attempts to implement similar programs in Oklahoma, Montanan, Pennsylvania, both Dakottes and Weiming were unsuccessful.

At the federal level, US President Donald Trump in March instructed a working group of digital assets to consider creating a national reserve in cryptocurrencies.
