More reculades than advances. Just after the American New Hampshire state, Arizona was 2e To make it possible to constitute Bitcoin reserves and other cryptocurrencies. But barely a few days later, the governor of Arizona disappoints the cryptosphere By rejecting two pro-Cryptos laws.
- Arizona first made it possible to constitute reserves of cryptocurrencies, but governor Katie Hobbs then rejected two pro-Cryptos laws.
- A hardening of the Bitcoin automatic distributors has been adopted, imposing additional restrictions on operators and users.
The Katie Hobbs of Arizona rejects two pro-Cryptos laws
Two bad news fell suddenly from the US state ofArizona this May 12, 2025. Indeed, the Democratic governor Katie Hobbs put his veto on Two pro-Cryptomonnaies laws proposed by the Senate of this American state.
That same day, the member of the Democratic Party has thus rejected THE SENATE BILL 1024 and the SENATE BILL 1373,, like the report especially Decrypt.
The first bill (n ° 1024) would have Public agencies allowed of Arizona d ‘Accept payments in cryptocurrencies For fines, taxes and costs. As for the second proposal (n ° 1371), it would have established a Strategic reserve fund for digital assets in order to keep Cryptos obtained by seizures. It was therefore just a question of keeping and managing these digital assets, without public purchases/expenses, But no.
A hardening of the use of automatic Bitcoin distributors as a disappointment bonus
This rejection of SENATE BILL 1373 is all the more incomprehensible that Governor Hobbs therefore has valid THE House Bill 2749less than a week ago. This law makes it possible to take possession of cryptocurrencies abandoned for at least three years. It even allows them to manage them, notably receiving income from the stuking or ofardropsto put them back in a » Bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund ».
In addition to these two discharges mentioned, another bill relating to cryptos, the House Bill 2387he was accepted by governor, but it is not not really positive. Indeed, this legislation very strictly frame automatic distributors (ATM) of Bitcoin and Cryptos. If, on the full glass side, it adds to the legalization activity, on the empty glass side, the managers of these machines will have More obligationsand their users, More restrictions.
This law indeed requires atm Crypto operators to display » Multilingual warnings on fraud « emit receipts With the hash transaction and the address of the Wallet, andUse analysis tools on-chain To avoid transferring funds to wallets reported for fraudulent activity. And for users, a Ceiling at $ 2,000 per day is imposed For new customers.
It should be noted that there was already that 20 ATM crypto throughout Arizona, depending on CoinatMradar, and with these new obligations as restrictive as they are complex To set up, this figure is not likely to grow anytime soon. In comparison, The Bitcoin and Cryptos Strategic Reserve adopted by the New Hampshire is a much clearer advance in favor of the sector, because the republican governor Kelly Ayotte has enabled her state ofinvest up to 5 % of his funds in Bitcoin (The other cryptos are not technically not yet valued enough to be part of this reserve).
