According to Blockworks, earlier this week, Oklahoma passed a bill to protect the rights of state residents to self-custody digital assets. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2024. The OKHB3594 bill was signed into law by Governor Kevin Stitt and sponsored by four Republicans-State Senators Bill Coleman and Dana Prieto and State Representatives Brian Hill and Cody Maynard. According to the bill, Oklahoma prohibits restrictions or prohibitions on the use of "self-custody wallets or hardware wallets" to self-custody digital assets. Oklahoma residents can also mine at home and in industrialized areas, but they must comply with local noise regulations. In addition, the bill also stipulates that discriminatory electricity prices shall not be imposed on digital asset mining operations. Residents can use cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and services without paying additional taxes. Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Act Fund, called the bill "groundbreaking" and said it aims to protect "basic Bitcoin rights."
