The California Assembly has passed a bill to pilot crypto payments for state transactions, making it one of the most progressive crypto moves yet.
AB 1180 allows state agencies to accept crypto for select fees and transactions, paving the way for broader adoption.
The Department of Financial Protection and Innovation will regulate the program and submit findings by Jan 2028. The bill sunsets in July 2031.
California follows in the footsteps of other pro-crypto states, highlighting growing national interest and adoption of Bitcoin and digital assets.
