New Hampshire Follows Bitcoin Reserve With 'Blockchain Basic Laws' Signing

New Hampshire's newly-signed crypto law introduces protections for users, miners, and stakers within its boundaries.

  • New Hampshire has enacted the 'Blockchain Basic Laws' (HB 639) to protect users and foster blockchain innovation, including self-custody rights and a special court for disputes.
  • This legislation follows the state's earlier decision to allow its treasurer to invest up to 5% of public funds in Bitcoin, alongside precious metals, as an inflation hedge.
  • Despite these advancements, a proposal for a Bitcoin-backed municipal bond was recently blocked by the state's executive council.
