康涅狄格州禁止國家投資對比特幣，為其他州設定了先例

美國康涅狄格州已正式通過了HB7082法案，這標誌著一個重大的轉折點，因為它完全禁止國家對比特幣和其他加密貨幣的投資。

The US state of Connecticut has officially passed Bill HB7082, placing a ban on the commonwealth from investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

美國康涅狄格州已正式通過了HB7082法案，禁止英聯邦投資比特幣和其他加密貨幣。

This legislation marks a significant turning point as it completely cancels any previous authorization for the state to accept, hold, or invest in any type of virtual currency.

這項立法標誌著一個重大的轉折點，因為它完全取消了以前的任何授權，供州接受，持有或投資任何類型的虛擬貨幣。

It also imposes several new requirements on money transmitters.

它還對貨幣發射機施加了幾個新要求。

Notably, both the state Senate and House passed HB7082 without a single vote in opposition. This indicates a strong and unified stance from the state government in enacting this measure.

值得注意的是，州參議院和眾議院都在反對派的情況下通過了HB7082。這表明州政府在製定這項措施方面採取了強烈而統一的立場。

"🚨 NEW: Connecticut passes law to ban state investment in bitcoin.HB7082 prohibits the state from accepting, holding, or investing in any virtual currencies.It also imposes several new requirements on money transmitters."

“新的：康涅狄格州通過法律禁止國家投資對比特幣。

The bill, which is now heading to the desk of Governor Ned Lamont, includes provisions to 1:1 reserve requirement, risk disclosure statement for users, and special protections for seniors and large transactions.

該法案現在正前往州長內德·拉蒙特（Ned Lamont）的辦公桌，其中包括1：1儲備金要求，用戶的風險披露聲明以及對老年人和大型交易的特殊保護。

It is pertinent to note that Connecticut appears to be moving in the opposite direction compared to the broader US landscape.

值得注意的是，與美國更廣泛的景觀相比，康涅狄格州似乎朝相反的方向移動。

During the Trump administration, the federal government undertook the establishment of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and engaged in meetings with cryptocurrency investors.

在特朗普政府期間，聯邦政府建立了“戰略比特幣儲備”，並與加密貨幣投資者進行會議。

Moreover, several other states are taking steps towards integrating Bitcoin and digital assets into their financial policies.

此外，其他幾個州正在採取措施將比特幣和數字資產整合到其財務政策中。

For instance, New York is currently reviewing a bill that would permit residents to utilize cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum for settling state-related obligations, including taxes.

例如，紐約目前正在審查一項法案，該法案將允許居民利用比特幣和以太坊等加密貨幣來解決與國家有關的義務，包括稅收。

Furthermore, New Hampshire recently became the first US state to create a Bitcoin Reserve, enabling investments in crypto assets with a market cap over $5 billion or that are listed on major exchanges.

此外，新罕布什爾州最近成為第一個創建比特幣儲備金的州，從而使市值超過50億美元或在主要交易所上市的加密貨幣資產進行投資。

After Connecticut’s decision was made known, many industry leaders expressed their disappointment.

在康涅狄格州的決定中得知之後，許多行業領導人表示失望。

CIO of Bitwise Matt Hougan responded with sarcasm, suggesting that banning Bitcoin wouldn’t be a rational economic decision but rather one driven by personal frustration or special interests.

Bitwise Matt Hougan的CIO充滿了諷刺，表明禁止比特幣不是一個理性的經濟決定，而是由個人挫敗感或特殊利益驅動的。

“The hedge fund managers got so upset they couldn’t beat Bitcoin, they are going to have to sell Apple to get the return they want. So they got the state to ban bitcoin.”

“對沖基金經理感到非常沮喪，以至於無法擊敗比特幣，他們將不得不出售蘋果才能獲得他們想要的回報。因此，他們讓國家禁止比特幣。”

While many investors viewed Connecticut’s move as short-sighted, Kevin, CEO of Hummingbird, hinted that it could actually be a strategic diversification play. He suggested it could benefit Connecticut residents who work in New York City, one of the major financial hubs in the US.

儘管許多投資者認為康涅狄格州的舉動是短視的，但Hummingbird的首席執行官凱文（Kevin）暗示，這實際上可能是戰略多元化的遊戲。他建議這可以使在紐約市工作的康涅狄格州居民受益，這是美國主要的金融樞紐之一。

“This is a diversification play for all the people that live in Connecticut and work in NYC. They want their finance funds to be able to buy the BTC that the state is forced to sell. Why have your state government own it when your NYC hedge fund can make money off of it. This is actually bullish!”

“這是對所有居住在康涅狄格州並在紐約工作的人的多元化戲劇。他們希望他們的財務資金能夠購買該州被迫出售的BTC。為什麼當您的紐約市對沖基金能夠從中賺錢時，為什麼您的州政府擁有它。這實際上是看漲的！”

In a broader context, the Bitcoin reserve movement in the US appears to be slowing down.

在更廣泛的背景下，美國的比特幣儲備運動似乎正在放緩。

For instance, in Florida, two bills — H0487 and S0550 — that proposed using up to 10% of public funds to invest in Bitcoin were withdrawn when the legislative session ended on May 3.

例如，在佛羅里達州，當立法會議於5月3日結束時，提議使用多達10％的公共資金對比特幣進行投資的兩項法案（H0487和S0550）被撤回。

Similarly, in Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed two crypto-related bills — SB 1373 and SB 1024 — effectively blocking efforts to integrate digital assets into public finance in the state. These bills would have required state agencies to accept crypto payments and authorized the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.

同樣，在亞利桑那州，州長凱蒂·霍布斯（Katie Hobbs）否決了兩項與加密貨幣相關的法案-SB 1373和SB 1024，有效地阻止了將數字資產納入該州的公共財政的努力。這些法案將要求州機構接受加密貨幣付款，並授權州財務主管對比特幣進行投資。
