肯塔基成為第一個制定“比特幣權利”法的國家

肯塔基州州長安迪·貝瑟爾（Andy Beshear）於2025年3月24日簽署了“比特幣權利”法案，使該州的人們可以使用，存儲和礦山比特幣而無限制。

Kentucky has officially joined the ranks of crypto-friendly states after Governor Andy Beshear signed the “Bitcoin Rights” bill into law on March 24.

3月24日，肯塔基州已正式加入了加密貨幣友好的州行列。

House Bill 701, introduced by Representative Adam Bowling on February 19, quickly advanced through the state legislature. It passed the House with a unanimous 91-0 vote on February 28 and later obtained full approval in the Senate through a 37-0 vote on March 13.

由代表亞當·保齡球（Adam Bowling）於2月19日提出的眾議院第701號法案迅速通過州立法機關。它於2月28日以91-0的一致投票通過了眾議院，後來在3月13日以37-0的投票獲得了參議院的全面批准。

The bill safeguards crypto users from discrimination and prevents local authorities from introducing biased rules against Bitcoin mining. It also ensures that mining and staking activities won't require special licenses or be categorized as financial securities.

法案保護加密用戶免於歧視，並防止地方當局對比特幣採礦引入有偏見的規則。它還可以確保採礦和製定活動不需要特殊許可或歸類為金融證券。

Highlighting the significance of the new law, the Satoshi Action Fund, a crypto advocacy group, stated that the legislation guarantees the “right to self-custody, run a node, and use digital assets” without facing discrimination.

加密倡導組織Satoshi Action Fund強調了新法律的重要性，該基金表示，該立法保證了“自我客戶的權利，運行節點並使用數字資產的權利”，而不會面臨歧視。

This implies that individuals in Kentucky can maintain custody of their crypto without any third-party involvement, and businesses have the freedom to operate blockchain systems without additional administrative burdens.

這意味著肯塔基州的個人可以在沒有任何第三方參與的情況下維持其加密貨幣的監護權，並且企業可以自由地操作區塊鏈系統而沒有額外的行政負擔。

Moreover, the bill prevents local governments from enacting zoning regulations that could displace Bitcoin miners from specific areas. The aim is to foster a favorable environment for crypto users and businesses within the state.

此外，該法案阻止地方政府制定可以使比特幣礦工脫離特定地區的分區法規。目的是為該州內的加密用戶和企業促進一個有利的環境。

In a separate development, lawmakers are also examining another proposal that would permit the state to invest in Bitcoin as part of its financial reserves.

在另一項發展中，立法者還審查了另一項提案，該提案將允許該州作為其財務儲備的一部分投資比特幣。

If approved, the State Investment Commission would be authorized to allocate up to 10% of the state's excess funds into Bitcoin and other digital assets.

如果獲得批准，則將授權州投資委員會將多達10％的超額資金分配給比特幣和其他數字資產。

This development comes as several other states, including Oklahoma, Arizona, and Missouri, are considering similar plans for a Bitcoin reserve.

這一發展是因為其他幾個州（包括俄克拉荷馬州，亞利桑那州和密蘇里州）正在考慮對比特幣儲備的類似計劃。

Oklahoma's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act recently passed the House of Representatives with a 77-15 vote and now awaits approval in the Senate.

俄克拉荷馬州的戰略比特幣儲備法案最近以77-15的投票通過了眾議院，現在正在等待參議院的批准。

Meanwhile, Arizona has made progress on two Bitcoin reserve bills, both of which passed a key committee and are advancing toward a full vote.

同時，亞利桑那州在兩項比特幣儲備賬單上取得了進展，兩者都通過了一個關鍵委員會，並正在全力投票。

According to Bitcoin Laws, Oklahoma has now tied with Texas in the "State Bitcoin reserve race," while Arizona currently holds the leading position.

根據比特幣法律，俄克拉荷馬州現在與德克薩斯州的“州比特幣儲備賽”並列，而亞利桑那州目前擁有領先地位。

This shift in strategy indicates that more state governments are recognizing Bitcoin as a significant asset. Kentucky's new law further cements the state's status as one of the most crypto-friendly places in the U.S.

戰略的這種轉變表明，越來越多的州政府將比特幣視為重要的資產。肯塔基州的新法律進一步鞏固了該州作為美國最友好型的地方之一
