肯塔基州通过保护加密货币用户的“比特币权利”法

肯塔基州通过通过保护其权利的新法律来向加密货币使用者迈出了重要一步。

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

肯塔基州通过通过保护其权利的新法律迈出了加密货币使用者的重要一步。

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.

州长安迪·贝西尔（Andy Beshear）于3月24日签署了701号法案，通常被称为“比特币权利”法案。这使肯塔基州成为对使用比特币等数字资产的人们建立法律保护的最新州。

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.”

新法律为使用加密货币的肯塔基州居民提供了一些重要的保护措施。它保证了他们拥有自己的加密货币的权利而无需通过第三方。在加密世界中，这被称为“自我顾客”。

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

“我们很自豪地正式宣布肯塔基州州长已将'比特币权利'签署为法律！

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

现在，自我观察，运行节点和使用数字资产的权利现在受到数百万美国人的保护，而不必担心歧视。

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.

该立法还明确允许居民在不担心法律问题的情况下运行自己的加密节点。节点是计算机网络的一部分，有助于跟踪加密货币交易。该法律还禁止当地分区当局阻止加密采矿业务的任何企图。

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.

加密矿业开采将不需要根据新规定的货币发射机许可证，从而消除了该州矿工的重大监管障碍。该立法还澄清说，采矿和存放加密货币不被视为提供或出售证券。

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.

肯塔基州政府对该法案的支持压倒性。它于2月28日通过了该州的众议院，所有91名代表投票肯定。当它搬到州参议院时，所有37名参议员也在3月13日投票赞成该法案。

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

这不是对加密货币采取行动的唯一状态。该法案类似于俄克拉荷马州2024年5月通过的立法。

Oklahoma is also working on more crypto-friendly laws.

俄克拉荷马州还正在制定更友好的加密法。

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.

该法案将为俄克拉荷马州政府创建比特币储备金通过了州众议院。投票是77比15，赞成众议院第1203号法案，称为《战略比特币储备法》。

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·梅纳德（Cody Maynard）于1月15日首先提出了该法案。该法案通过政府监督委员会于2月25日以12比2的投票通过。现在，它需要通过俄克拉荷马州参议院，直到州长可以决定是否将其签署为法律。

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.

俄克拉荷马州的另一项法案可以使居民获得比特币的报酬。州参议员Dusty Deevers于1月8日提交了这项立法。如果通过，工人可以选择以加密货币而不是美元获得薪水。

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.

根据该集团比特币法律，俄克拉荷马州现在与德克萨斯州并列第二名，在他们所谓的“州比特币储备赛”中。亚利桑那州目前正在领导各州之间的非正式竞争。

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.

亚利桑那州有两个战略性的数字资产储备法案，刚刚清除了众议院规则委员会，现在正前往亚利桑那州众议院的地板进行全额投票。比特币法律认为，俄克拉荷马州法案有很大的机会成为法律，因为共和党人控制着俄克拉荷马州参议院和州长办公室。

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.

密苏里州也正在考虑创建比特币储备。政府间事务特别委员会目前正在审查制定州级战略数字资产储备的法案。

This shows a broader interest in cryptocurrency among multiple states.

这表明对多个州的加密货币有更广泛的兴趣。

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.

肯塔基州还提出了一项单独的法案，该法案将使州投资委员会最多将超额州储备的10％纳入包括比特币在内的数字资产中。该法案仍在审查中，尚未成为法律。

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.

这些州法律强调了政府接受加密货币的日益增长的趋势。随着越来越多的州通过保护比特币使用者和对数字货币本身进行投资的账单，这可能会导致更多的主流采用。
