Cryptocurrency, Digital Or Virtual Currency And Digital Assets 2024 Legislation

Written by TaxConnections Admin | Posted in Virtual Currency Legislation

Digital or virtual currencies are a medium of exchange, but are not regular money.

Unlike paper bills and coins, cryptocurrencies are not issued or backed by the U.S. government or any other government or central bank. The lack of a physical token to count and hold may confuse some. Rather, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a form of digital currency used in electronic payment transactions—no coins, paper money or banks are involved; there are zero to minimal transaction fees; transactions are fast and not bound by geography; and, like using cash, transactions are anonymous.

Digital currencies are stored in digital wallets, which are software or apps installed by users on their computer or mobile device.

Each digital wallet contains encrypted information, called public and private keys, that is used to send and receive the digital currency. All digital currency transactions are recorded in a virtual public ledger called the “blockchain,” which is maintained by digital currency “miners.” These miners can be anyone, anywhere in the world, who is willing to invest in the specialized computer hardware needed to rapidly process complex computations. Miners are awarded digital currency, like Bitcoin, Ripple, Dogecoin, and Litecoin, in exchange for verifying each transaction and adding it to the blockchain.

At least 35 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., have introduced or have pending legislation on cryptocurrency, digital or virtual currencies, and other digital assets in the 2024 legislative session.

Examples of enacted legislation include:

Nebraska enacted a law saying the Uniform Commercial Code shall not be construed to support, endorse, create or implement a national digital currency or central bank digital currency, and adopting provisions regarding, among other things, controllable electronic records, hybrid transactions, and security interest in digital assets and electronic money.
South Dakota adopted a resolution opposing the adoption and development of a central bank digital currency.
