California governor signs executive order shaping cryptocurrency regulation in the state
The Verge ^ | May 7, 2022

Posted on 05/08/2022 5:44:22 AM PDT by BenLurkin

The executive order calls upon the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) to collaborate with the state’s Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) and Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency (BCSH). Together, the state agencies are tasked with devising “potential blockchain applications and ventures,” which could include applications in the “private sector, academia, and community.”

It also orders the DFPI to shape a regulatory approach to cryptocurrency, create consumer protections, as well as produce educational materials that inform California’s residents about both the risks and benefits associated with cryptocurrencies. The order specifically says the materials will “include information about how to avoid scams and frauds,” one of the major concerns about crypto.

Newsom’s plan aligns with the executive order President Joe Biden signed in March, serving as the White House’s framework for future cryptocurrency regulation. Right now, it’s too early to tell how Newsom’s order will impact California’s cryptocurrency industry — no regulatory measures have been rolled out just yet, but the plans are in place to do so.

Worthless. Yeah the dipshits in CA understand blockchain and crypto. It’s like monkeys regulating fire.

I prefer tulip bulbs—at least you can touch them.

It's cute, the way you think you still have money.

The US hasn't used money since 1971.

Find an old Federal Reserve Note. Read the fine print: “This note is legal tender for all debts public and private and is redeemable in lawful currency at the United States Treasury or at any Federal Reserve Bank”
