According to Odaily, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed HB 639, known as the Blockchain Basic Laws, which increases legal protections for digital asset users, developers, miners, validators, and enterprises, and safeguards the right to use and self-custody digital assets.

The bill also authorizes the establishment of dedicated case files for blockchain-related disputes. Under New Hampshire law effective in 2025, the State Treasurer will be allowed 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 in June 2025, establishing the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. State legislators allocated $10 million, with Texas making an initial investment of approximately $5 million through spot Bitcoin ETF.

Wyoming’s proposal in 2025 to allow up to 3% of certain state funds to be invested in Bitcoin did not pass, but the state continues to advance its specialized banking framework and the Frontier Stable Token. FRNT will be publicly available in January 2026 and has been described as the first state-issued stablecoin in the United States.
