## Is it a regression in times?

The Connecticut General Assembly unanimously passed House Bill 7082 (HB7082) in both chambers, completely banning investments in cryptocurrencies by the state government. The law is scheduled to take effect on October 1, 2025, prohibiting the acceptance, holding, and investment in cryptocurrencies by the state and political subdivisions.

This "Law on Various Amendments to the Funds Transfer Act, State Payments and Investments in Virtual Currencies, and Remittance App Accounts for Minors" clearly prohibits the establishment of "virtual currency reserves" and imposes new requirements on remittance operators. This time, the "Anti-Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act" was passed without a single vote against it, specifically prohibiting the establishment of virtual currency reserves.

Connecticut's actions are attracting attention as they go against the trend of expanding acceptance of cryptocurrency by state governments across the United States.

The California State Assembly passed Bill AB1180 on June 4, allowing the state government to accept payments in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, with a vote of 68 to 0. The bill is currently under Senate review, and if enacted, it is expected to be valid from July 2026 to January 2031.

The Texas State Senate adopted Senate Bill 21 on May 31, which allows the state government to establish a Bitcoin reserve, by a vote of 24 to 7. With the signature of Governor Greg Abbott, Texas is expected to become the third state in the nation to hold Bitcoin, following New Hampshire and Arizona.
