Odaily Planet Daily reported that the U.S. state of Oklahoma has passed a bill aimed at protecting the state's citizens' right to self-custody of digital assets. The bill was signed by Governor Kevin Stitt and will take effect on November 1, 2024. The bill was sponsored by four Republican lawmakers and explicitly prohibits "restrictions or prohibitions" on the use of self-custody wallets or hardware wallets by state residents to self-custody digital assets. In addition, residents of the state can legally mine cryptocurrencies at home and in industrial fields, but must comply with noise regulations. The bill also stipulates that individuals and companies engaged in digital asset mining, staking and other activities do not need to obtain a currency transmission license, and prohibits discriminatory electricity prices for digital asset mining companies. Residents do not have to pay additional taxes when using cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and services. (blockworks)
