The new legislation prohibits all Connecticut state agencies from investing in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. It also bars any state entity from accepting digital assets as payment for taxes, fees, or any financial obligations owed to the state.<\/p>\n
This effectively eliminates the possibility of Connecticut building a state crypto reserve or integrating blockchain-based payment systems into public infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Beyond banning state-level usage, House Bill 7082 also imposes strict new guidelines on businesses operating in the crypto space. Companies offering virtual currency transmission services must now provide clear and prominent disclosures outlining the risks of digital asset transactions.<\/p>\n
The law mandates firms warn customers that crypto transactions:<\/strong><\/p>\n Can involve high-pressure tactics like threats of jail, fake computer hacks, or urgent cash withdrawal instructions\n
\nThese warnings aim to protect consumers from rising cases of crypto-related scams and ensure that users are fully informed before engaging in digital currency transactions.<\/p>\n
