- Lawmakers in Texas propose a constitutional amendment for cryptocurrency inclusion in the state’s Bill of Rights.
- If approved, Texas could emerge as a leading state in cryptocurrency regulations.
- The proposal is in its early stages, requiring approval through multiple legislative stages.
In a significant development, lawmakers in Texas have proposed a constitutional amendment to the state’s Bill of Rights. The proposal seeks to recognize cryptocurrency as a legitimate and protected form of wealth.
This move reflects the growing acceptance and recognition of digital currencies at the legislative level. If approved, this amendment could place Texas as a frontrunner in the realm of cryptocurrency regulations and protection.
The proposed amendment aims to grant cryptocurrency the status of property under the state’s Bill of Rights. This would provide the same legal protections to digital currencies as to other types of assets. Such a move would not only legitimize cryptocurrencies but also provide a layer of protection to crypto holders in Texas.
While it remains to be seen how this proposal will be received by the wider legislative assembly, it marks a crucial step towards mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies. The proposal is still in its nascent stage, requiring approval through multiple legislative stages before it can be added to the state’s constitution.
