康涅狄格州禁止國家投資比特幣和其他數字資產

一項新法律通過後，比特幣和其他數字資產在康涅狄格州受到了重大打擊

A new law passed by the Connecticut legislature has banned the state and local governments in the state from investing in any form of virtual currency, including Bitcoin. The legislation, designated as HB7082 and officially titled “An Act Concerning the Regulation of Virtual Currency and State Investments,” marks a decisive shift in the state’s stance on cryptocurrency.

康涅狄格州立法機關通過的一項新法律禁止該州的州和地方政府以任何形式的虛擬貨幣（包括比特幣）進行投資。該立法被指定為HB7082，並正式命名為“有關虛擬貨幣和國家投資的法規”，這標誌著該州對加密貨幣立場的決定性轉變。

HB7082, which was passed by the legislature and now awaits the governor’s signature, prohibits the allocation of public funds, such as state pension reserves and municipal capital, towards Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. This move highlights the state’s cautious approach, citing concerns about market volatility and financial risk exposure.

立法機關通過並等待州長的簽名的HB7082禁止分配公共資金，例如州養老金儲備金和市政首都，向比特幣或任何其他加密貨幣分配。此舉強調了該州謹慎的方法，理由是對市場波動和財務風險敞口的擔憂。

Beyond the investment ban, HB7082 introduces a set of stringent regulatory measures aimed at tightening the oversight of crypto-related activities within Connecticut.

除投資禁令外，HB7082還引入了一系列嚴格的監管措施，旨在收緊康涅狄格州內加密相關活動的監督。

One provision requires payment applications that facilitate crypto transactions to verify parental consent for users under the age of 18. This youth protection clause is intended to limit the early exposure of minors to high-risk financial instruments.

一項規定要求付款申請，以促進加密交易以驗證18歲以下用戶的父母同意。該青年保護條款旨在限制未成年人早期接觸高風險金融工具。

The law also mandates strict compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks. Crypto businesses operating in Connecticut will now be required to implement AML protocols consistent with federal standards, further aligning the digital asset space with traditional financial regulation. State officials maintained that these measures are crucial to prevent the misuse of digital currencies for illicit purposes.

該法律還要求嚴格遵守反洗錢（AML）框架。現在，將需要在康涅狄格州開設的加密業務來實施與聯邦標準一致的AML協議，從而進一步使數字資產領域與傳統的金融法規保持一致。州官員堅持認為，這些措施對於防止出於非法目的濫用數字貨幣至關重要。

This regulatory crackdown stands in contrast to the crypto-friendly approaches being adopted by several other U.S. states. A growing number of states, including Texas, Wyoming, and Florida, have been pushing forward initiatives to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). These efforts align with the policy stance of the Donald Trump administration, which has signaled intentions to adopt an SBR at the federal level if reelected.

這種監管鎮壓與其他幾個美國各州採用的加密友好方法相反。包括德克薩斯州，懷俄明州和佛羅里達州在內的越來越多的州一直在推動建立戰略性比特幣保護區（SBR）的倡議。這些努力與唐納德·特朗普政府的政策立場保持一致，唐納德·特朗普政府的政策立場表明，如果連任，則打算在聯邦一級採用SBR。

While Connecticut doubles down on regulation and restriction, other parts of the country are moving in a different direction. On Tuesday, the state of Louisiana announced plans to form a dedicated committee to explore the impact and potential of emerging technologies. This includes artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and cryptocurrency.

儘管康涅狄格州對監管和限制進行了加倍，但該國其他地區正在朝著不同的方向前進。週二，路易斯安那州宣布計劃成立一個專門的委員會，以探討新興技術的影響和潛力。這包括人工智能（AI），區塊鍊和加密貨幣。

“WHEREAS one in five Americans owns cryptocurrency…it is in the interest of Louisiana to consider the benefits and challenges of these technologies,” noted a resolution by the Louisiana legislature.

路易斯安那州立法機關的決議指出：“儘管五分之一的美國人擁有加密貨幣……考慮到這些技術的好處和挑戰符合路易斯安那州的利益。”

As the national debate over the future of cryptocurrency intensifies, Connecticut’s move signals a growing divide among U.S. states. Some are embracing Bitcoin as a vehicle for innovation and economic resilience, while others, like Connecticut, opt for a more cautious, regulated path. The trajectory of this state-level experimentation could ultimately shape the broader regulatory landscape for digital assets across the United States.

隨著國家關於加密貨幣未來的辯論加劇，康涅狄格州的舉動標誌著美國各州之間的鴻溝越來越大。有些人將比特幣作為創新和經濟韌性的工具，而康涅狄格州等其他人則選擇了更加謹慎，受監管的道路。這一州級實驗的軌跡最終可以影響整個美國的數字資產的更廣泛的監管格局。
