Svmuu News: New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed HB 639, the “Blockchain Basic Laws,” into law, providing increased legal protection for digital asset users, developers, miners, validators, and businesses, while safeguarding the rights to use and self-custody digital assets.
The bill also authorizes the creation of a specialized docket for blockchain-related disputes. New Hampshire’s 2025 law allows the state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of certain public funds to precious metals and eligible digital assets; currently, only Bitcoin meets the market capitalization threshold.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed SB 21 into law in June 2025, establishing the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. State legislators allocated $10 million, and Texas subsequently made an initial investment of approximately $5 million through the spot Bitcoin ETF.
In Wyoming, a 2025 proposal to allow up to 3% of state funds to be invested in Bitcoin was not passed, but the state continued to advance its specialized banking framework and the Frontier Stable Token. FRNT became publicly available in January 2026 and was described as the first state-issued stablecoin in the United States.
