亞利桑那州州長否決立法，該立法將使該州投資加密貨幣

亞利桑那州的州長否決了該州的立法，該立法將使該州投資加密貨幣。

The governor of Arizona has vetoed state legislation that would have allowed the state to invest in cryptocurrency.

亞利桑那州州長否決了州立法，該立法將使該州投資加密貨幣。

“The Arizona State Retirement System is one of the strongest in the nation because it makes sound and informed investments,” Gov. Katie Hobbs said Friday in a letter to state Sen. Warren Petersen, president of the state Senate. “Arizonans’ retirement funds are not the place for the state to try untested investments like virtual currency.”

州長凱蒂·霍布斯（Katie Hobbs）週五在致州參議院總裁沃倫·彼得森（Warren Petersen）的一封信中說：“亞利桑那州退休制度是全國最強大的國家之一，因為它進行了良好的投資。” “亞利桑那州的退休資金並不是國家嘗試虛擬貨幣等未經測試投資的地方。”

Lawmakers in the state last week approved legislation that would have established a bitcoin reserve, enabling the state to invest as much as 10% of its public funds in digital assets. The legislation also would have permitted state employees to receive wages in bitcoin if they chose to do so.

該州的立法者上週批准了將建立比特幣儲備金的立法，使該州能夠投資多達10％的公共資金在數字資產上。該立法還將允許州僱員選擇這樣做的工資。

The legislation, which passed the state House of Representatives last week in a 54-1 vote and the state Senate in a 27-2 vote, now heads back to the lawmakers. If the legislators can override Hobbs' veto, which would require a majority vote in both the House and Senate, the bill will go into effect 90 days after the session sine die.

該立法上週以54-1的投票和州參議院以27票對2票通過了州眾議院，現在回到立法者。如果立法者可以覆蓋霍布斯的否決權，這將需要在眾議院和參議院中進行多數投票，則該法案將在Sine死亡後90天生效。

Republican state Sen. Wendy Rogers told NBC News last week that it was in Hobbs' best interest to sign the legislation, which would have created the first state-level bitcoin reserve in the country.

共和黨州參議員溫迪·羅傑斯（Wendy Rogers）上週對NBC新聞說，簽署該立法符合霍布斯的最大利益，這將在​​該國創建第一個州級的比特幣儲備。

“Crypto and bitcoin have a huge following nationwide and in Arizona. They are wildly popular with the youth and independents,” Rogers said, adding, “I certainly hope she signs it, because she can take credit and it will make her look good.”

羅傑斯說：“加密和比特幣在全國和亞利桑那州都有大量的追隨者。他們在青年和獨立人士中非常受歡迎，並補充說，“我當然希望她能簽下它，因為她可以讚揚，這會讓她看起來不錯。 ”

She continued to express her disappointment with Hobbs on X following the governor’s decision on Friday, writing: “Politicians don’t understand that Bitcoin doesn’તી need Arizona. Arizona needs Bitcoin.”

在周五州長的決定之後，她繼續對X上的霍布斯表示失望：“政客們不了解比特幣沒有必要的亞利桑那州。亞利桑那州需要比特幣。”

The efforts by state lawmakers to establish an Arizona bitcoin reserve come as former President Donald Trump said in December that he was a “fan” of bitcoin and planned to create a national-level bitcoin reserve during his presidency. And as PYMNTS wrote last week, it’s also a sign of the growing mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies.

國會議員為建立亞利桑那州比特幣儲備的努力是由前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在12月表示的，他是比特幣的“粉絲”，併計劃在擔任總統期間創建國家一級的比特幣儲備。正如Pymnts上週寫的那樣，這也是越來越多的加密貨幣主流採用的標誌。

“Observers believe it is becoming increasingly held, across Wall Street and beyond, that digital assets may no longer be confined to speculative circles. As bitcoin ETFs become a growing component of diversified portfolios and regulatory frameworks begin to crystallize, the decentralization dream that once defined crypto appears to be giving way to a new era of structured integration.

“觀察者認為，在華爾街及其他地區，數字資產可能不再局限於投機性圈子。隨著比特幣ETF成為多元化投資組合和監管框架的日益增長的組成部分，該框架開始結晶，而分散的夢想似乎曾經定義的加密似乎正在為新的結構整合時代提供了一個新的結構性整合時代。

“It’s no longer a novelty to see major investment firms exploring crypto, but this year has seen a turning point. Morgan Stanley is preparing to offer cryptocurrency trading to its vast E*Trade customer base as soon as next year, with the potential to introduce millions of retail investors to digital assets via a familiar platform.

“看到主要投資公司探索加密貨幣，這已經不再是新穎的了，但是今年已經有了一個轉折點。摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）正準備在明年後立即向其廣闊的E*Trade客戶提供加密貨幣交易，並有可能通過一個熟悉的平台將數百萬個零售投資者引入數字資產。

“Meanwhile, Charles Schwab is preparing to offer spot crypto trading for bitcoin and ethereum within the year, with the goal of meeting increasing demand from traditional investors.

“同時，查爾斯·施瓦布（Charles Schwab）準備在一年內為比特幣和以太坊提供現貨加密貨幣交易，目的是滿足傳統投資者的需求不斷提高。

“These moves are not isolated,” the report added. “BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is pushing blockchain technology deeper into conventional finance. The firm recently announced plans to register a new share class of its $150 billion money market fund on a blockchain, a step designed to enhance transparency and operational efficiency.”

報告補充說：“這些動作不是孤立的。” “貝萊德（Blackrock）是世界上最大的資產經理，正在將區塊鏈技術更深入地納入傳統融資。該公司最近宣布了計劃以一個區塊鏈的價格註冊其1500億美元貨幣市場基金的新股份，這是旨在提高透明度和運營效率的一步。”
