An Indiana Lawmaker Proposes Including Bitcoin in Pension Funds and Halting the Creation of Rules Restricting Cryptocurrency Use

BlockBeats News, December 6, according to Decrypt, an Indiana lawmaker introduced legislation on Thursday aimed at expanding avenues for state residents to access digital assets while preventing local governments from enacting rules that could restrict cryptocurrency use. The bill would require retirement and savings plans used by public employees to offer a cryptocurrency ETF as an investment option. Additionally, the legislation would also mandate restricting local governments from enacting rules that "unreasonably" limit the use of digital assets in payments, cryptocurrency mining, or personal asset protection. The bill has been submitted to the Indiana House Committee on Financial Institutions.
