Florida is taking bold steps toward becoming a crypto-friendly state with a new legislative proposal aimed at eliminating state-level capital gains taxes on Bitcoin, XRP, and traditional stocks.
The bill, if passed, would make Florida the first U.S. state to fully exempt these assets from capital gains taxes at the state level.
Although federal taxes would still apply, the move could significantly ease the tax burden for investors and traders operating within Florida.
Framed as part of a broader strategy to attract digital innovation and capital, the initiative signals Florida’s intention to compete with other states for crypto adoption and investment.
Lawmakers behind the proposal argue that removing this tax barrier could help foster growth in both the blockchain and financial technology sectors.
