肯塔基州通過保護加密貨幣用戶的“比特幣權利”法

肯塔基州通過通過保護其權利的新法律來向加密貨幣使用者邁出了重要一步。

Kentucky has taken a major step forward for cryptocurrency users by passing a new law that protects their rights.

肯塔基州通過通過保護其權利的新法律邁出了加密貨幣使用者的重要一步。

Governor Andy Beshear signed House Bill 701, often referred to as the “Bitcoin Rights” bill, on March 24. This makes Kentucky the latest state to create legal protections for people who use digital assets like Bitcoin.

州長安迪·貝西爾（Andy Beshear）於3月24日簽署了701號法案，通常被稱為“比特幣權利”法案。這使肯塔基州成為對使用比特幣等數字資產的人們建立法律保護的最新州。

The new law provides several important safeguards for residents of Kentucky who use cryptocurrency. It guarantees their right to hold their own crypto without needing to go through a third party. In the crypto world, this is called “self-custody.”

新法律為使用加密貨幣的肯塔基州居民提供了一些重要的保護措施。它保證了他們擁有自己的加密貨幣的權利而無需通過第三方。在加密世界中，這被稱為“自我顧客”。

"We are proud to officially announce that ‘Bitcoin Rights' has been SIGNED INTO LAW by the Governor of Kentucky!

“我們很自豪地正式宣布肯塔基州州長已將'比特幣權利'簽署為法律！

The right to self-custody, run a node, and use of digital assets is now protected for millions of Americans without fear of discrimination.

現在，自我觀察，運行節點和使用數字資產的權利現在受到數百萬美國人的保護，而不必擔心歧視。

The legislation also expressly permits residents to run their own crypto nodes without fear of legal issues. A node is part of the computer network that helps keep track of cryptocurrency transactions. The law also bans any attempts by local zoning authorities to block crypto mining operations.

該立法還明確允許居民在不擔心法律問題的情況下運行自己的加密節點。節點是計算機網絡的一部分，有助於跟踪加密貨幣交易。該法律還禁止當地分區當局阻止加密採礦業務的任何企圖。

Crypto mining will not require money transmitter licenses under the new rules, removing a significant regulatory hurdle for miners in the state. The legislation also clarifies that mining and staking cryptocurrency are not considered offering or selling securities.

加密礦業開採將不需要根據新規定的貨幣發射機許可證，從而消除了該州礦工的重大監管障礙。該立法還澄清說，採礦和存放加密貨幣不被視為提供或出售證券。

Support for the bill was overwhelming in Kentucky’s government. It passed the state’s House of Representatives on February 28 with all 91 representatives voting yes. When it moved to the state Senate, all 37 senators also voted in favor of the bill on March 13.

肯塔基州政府對該法案的支持壓倒性。它於2月28日通過了該州的眾議院，所有91名代表投票肯定。當它搬到州參議院時，所有37名參議員也在3月13日投票贊成該法案。

This isn’t the only state taking action on cryptocurrency. The bill is similar to legislation that Oklahoma passed in May 2024.

這不是對加密貨幣採取行動的唯一狀態。該法案類似於俄克拉荷馬州2024年5月通過的立法。

Oklahoma is also working on more crypto-friendly laws.

俄克拉荷馬州還正在製定更友好的加密法。

A bill that would create a reserve of Bitcoin for the Oklahoma government passed the State House of Representatives. The vote was 77 to 15 in favor of House Bill 1203, known as the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act.

該法案將為俄克拉荷馬州政府創建比特幣儲備金通過了州眾議院。投票是77比15，贊成眾議院第1203號法案，稱為《戰略比特幣儲備法》。

State Representative Cody Maynard first introduced the bill on January 15. It passed through the Government Oversight Committee by a 12-2 vote on February 25. Now it needs to pass through the Oklahoma Senate before the governor can decide whether to sign it into law.

州代表科迪·梅納德（Cody Maynard）於1月15日首先提出了該法案。該法案通過政府監督委員會於2月25日以12比2的投票通過。現在，它需要通過俄克拉荷馬州參議院，直到州長可以決定是否將其簽署為法律。

Another bill in Oklahoma could allow residents to get paid in Bitcoin. State Senator Dusty Deevers filed this legislation on January 8. If passed, workers could choose to receive their salaries in cryptocurrency instead of dollars.

俄克拉荷馬州的另一項法案可以使居民獲得比特幣的報酬。州參議員Dusty Deevers於1月8日提交了這項立法。如果通過，工人可以選擇以加密貨幣而不是美元獲得薪水。

According to the group Bitcoin Laws, Oklahoma is now tied with Texas for second place in what they call the “State Bitcoin reserve race.” Arizona is currently leading this unofficial competition between states.

根據該集團比特幣法律，俄克拉荷馬州現在與德克薩斯州並列第二名，在他們所謂的“州比特幣儲備賽”中。亞利桑那州目前正在領導各州之間的非正式競爭。

Arizona has two strategic digital asset reserve bills that just cleared the House Rules Committee and are now headed to the Arizona House floor for a full vote. Bitcoin Laws believes that the Oklahoma bill has a good chance of becoming law due to the fact that Republicans control both the Oklahoma Senate and the governor’s office.

亞利桑那州有兩個戰略性的數字資產儲備法案，剛剛清除了眾議院規則委員會，現在正前往亞利桑那州眾議院的地板進行全額投票。比特幣法律認為，俄克拉荷馬州法案有很大的機會成為法律，因為共和黨人控制著俄克拉荷馬州參議院和州長辦公室。

The state of Missouri is also considering creating a Bitcoin reserve. The Special Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs is currently reviewing a bill for the creation of a state-level strategic digital asset reserve.

密蘇里州也正在考慮創建比特幣儲備。政府間事務特別委員會目前正在審查制定州級戰略數字資產儲備的法案。

This shows a broader interest in cryptocurrency among multiple states.

這表明對多個州的加密貨幣有更廣泛的興趣。

Kentucky has also introduced a separate bill that would allow the State Investment Commission to put up to 10% of excess state reserves into digital assets, including Bitcoin. This bill is still being reviewed and hasn't yet become law.

肯塔基州還提出了一項單獨的法案，該法案將使州投資委員會最多將超額州儲備的10％納入包括比特幣在內的數字資產中。該法案仍在審查中，尚未成為法律。

These state laws highlight a growing trend of government acceptance of cryptocurrency in the United States. As more states pass bills both protecting Bitcoin users and investing in the digital currency themselves, it could lead to more mainstream adoption.

這些州法律強調了政府接受加密貨幣的日益增長的趨勢。隨著越來越多的州通過保護比特幣使用者和對數字貨幣本身進行投資的賬單，這可能會導致更多的主流採用。
