宾夕法尼亚州通过大胆的新立法步入数字未来

宾夕法尼亚州正在通过大胆的立法迈入数字未来，旨在巩固其作为新兴数字资产经济领导者的地位。

Pennsylvania is making bold strides into the digital realm with proposed legislation aimed at solidifying the state's role in the emerging digital asset economy. On October 23, 2024, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives passed House Bill 2481—dubbed the “Bitcoin Rights” bill by Dennis Porter, co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund—with a decisive 176–26 bipartisan vote.

宾夕法尼亚州正在大举进军数字领域，拟议的立法旨在巩固该州在新兴数字资产经济中的作用。 2024 年 10 月 23 日，宾夕法尼亚州众议院以 176 比 26 的决定性两党投票结果通过了众议院第 2481 号法案，该法案被中本聪行动基金联合创始人丹尼斯·波特称为“比特币权利”法案。

This legislation positions Pennsylvania among states at the forefront of digital asset regulation and underscores its commitment to fostering innovation in the sector while addressing critical issues like economic empowerment and financial inclusion.

这项立法使宾夕法尼亚州在数字资产监管方面处于领先地位，并强调其致力于促进该行业的创新，同时解决经济赋权和金融包容性等关键问题。

House Bill 2481 enshrines the rights of individuals and businesses to self-custody digital assets, operate blockchain nodes, and conduct transactions without interference from restrictive municipal ordinances. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Cabell (R-Luzerne) and supported by a bipartisan vote, the bill reflects a growing recognition across party lines of blockchain technology’s transformative potential.

众议院第 2481 号法案规定了个人和企业自行托管数字资产、运营区块链节点以及在不受限制性市政法令干扰的情况下进行交易的权利。该法案由众议员迈克·卡贝尔（R-Luzerne）发起并得到两党投票支持，反映出各党派对区块链技术变革潜力的日益认识。

The vote also revealed divisions within the Democratic Party, with all 26 opposing votes coming from Democratic representatives. Nevertheless, prominent members of the Democratic party, including Majority Leader Joanna McClinton (D-Phila/Delaware) and Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Phila), backed the measure highlighting its potential to stimulate economic growth and expand opportunities for underserved communities. Their support signals a broader acknowledgment of blockchain’s role in empowering marginalized groups through equitable access to financial tools.

此次投票还暴露了民主党内部的分歧，所有26张反对票均来自民主党代表。尽管如此，民主党的知名成员，包括多数党领袖乔安娜·麦克林顿（费城民主党/特拉华州）和众议员马尔科姆·肯雅塔（费城民主党），支持这项措施，强调其刺激经济增长和为服务不足的社区增加机会的潜力。他们的支持标志着人们更广泛地认识到区块链在通过公平地获得金融工具来增强边缘化群体权力方面的作用。

Following the passage of HB 2481, Republican Representatives Mike Cabell and Aaron Kaufer introduced HB 2664 (the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act) on November 14, 2024. If enacted, this legislation would enable the state treasurer to allocate up to 10% of Pennsylvania's General Fund, Rainy Day Fund, and State Investment Fund into bitcoin and crypto-based exchange-traded products (ETPs), as explained in the bill’s legislative memo. This could mean an investment of up to $970 million in bitcoin, leveraging its potential as both a hedge against inflation and a long-term growth asset, as reported by DeCrypt.

在 HB 2481 法案通过后，共和党众议员 Mike Cabell 和 Aaron Kaufer 于 2024 年 11 月 14 日提出了 HB 2664（比特币战略储备法案）。如果获得通过，该法案将使州财政部长能够分配宾夕法尼亚州普通基金高达 10% 的资金正如该法案的立法备忘录中所解释的那样，Rainy Day 基金和国家投资基金投资于比特币和基于加密货币的交易所交易产品（ETP）。据 DeCrypt 报道，这可能意味着对比特币进行高达 9.7 亿美元的投资，充分利用其作为通胀对冲工具和长期增长资产的潜力。
