Governor Katie Hobbs is a bill set by VETO to be allowed to invest in pension funds in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The Senate bill 1025 proposed to add the Virtual Currency of the Portfolio of the State of Arizona.
Hobbs rejected the policy Earlier today, saying that it puts the “Uns tested assets” program known due to stable results.
In a letter sent to President of Senate, Warren Petersen, Hobbs said that the country's pension system was one of the strongest in the country. He claimed that Crypto is still too risky and that pension funds should not be used to test new markets.
Bitcoin reserve was blocked as the governor is considering investment risks
Senate bill 1025 was one of the first efforts to bring digital assets to national pension programs. Arizona's legislators designed the draft bill as a forward -looking step and they thought that crypto could help diversify investment.
But the governor Hobbs did not agree. He said the current strength of the fund is due to careful planning and tested investments. And so his decision now blocks any crypto exposure to the country's pension accounts.
Public investments are out of reach of crypto
Supporters of the bill have stated that adding bitcoin and other digital assets could in the future public funds. However, opponents believe that there are no proper risk models and supervision. VETO gives boost a cautious approach, with several state governments used to manage national funds.
The bill would have led to the public acceptance of Arizona cryptocurrencies, but this road now seems uncertain. Cryptocurrencies are out of the country's supported pension portfolios if the legislators do not change the proposal or concentrate enough votes to defeat the VETO.
Arizona crypto device had previously received national attention
Just a few days before the veto right, Arizona legislators adopted two invoices This would have allowed the state to invest up to 10 percent in Bitcoin. The Senate bill 1025 and its colleague SB1373 passed both chambers and placed Arizona in front of other similar gears.
Some supporters considered the bill as a strategic way to manage national funds for inflation. VETO is now closing the door to what may have been the first Bitcoin reserve in the country.
Paying a bill SB1373 would allow the state to reserve up to 10% of Arizona's rain -time funds in digital assets such as Bitcoin. This bill is still to reach the final vote. Similar efforts have been made by many other US states such as Oklahoma, Montana, South -Dakota and Wyoming, but still to no avail.
