Arizona proposals target crypto tax exemptions and protections for blockchain node operators, with some measures requiring voter approval in 2026.

An Arizona woman was sentenced to 8.5 years for aiding DPRK hackers in infiltrating over 300 US crypto and tech firms, generating $17 million of illicit gains.

At least 50% of US states have strong congressional representative support on blockchain policy, while 36% have an active pro-crypto task force.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a measure that would have created a fund from seized crypto, with proceeds split between law enforcement and the state.

The Arizona Senate has voted to revive House Bill 2324, a Bitcoin reserve bill that initially failed in the House.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has signed a law allowing the state to claim ownership of digital assets that have been abandoned for at least three years.

Arizona state senator and Bitcoin advocate Wendy Rogers said, “Bitcoin doesn’t need Arizona, Arizona needs Bitcoin."

Arizona’s plan to invest in Bitcoin has ended in a veto, with Governor Katie Hobbs citing concerns over using public funds for "untested assets."

The Arizona House of Representatives approved two bills proposing different methods that the state could use to establish a cryptocurrency reserve.

Arizona’s Strategic Digital Assets Reserve Bill is one vote away from hitting Governor Katie Hobbs’ desk, though she has been recently vetoing bipartisan bills.

It comes on the same day Oklahoma’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act passed the State House of Representatives, bringing a reserve one step closer to potential enactment.

Arizona will soon vote on two proposed bills to establish digital asset reserves seized through criminal proceedings and a specific Bitcoin reserve based on public funds from the state’s treasury and retirement system.

Two crypto reserve bills have passed their third reading in Arizona’s Senate and will head to the state’s House of Representatives.
