🟠 Arizona Bitcoin Reserve Bill Funded by Seized Crypto
On June 24th, the Arizona House of Representatives passed HB 2324 (34–22 vote), a bill proposing a Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund managed by the state treasurer.
This fund would be funded exclusively with seized digital assets from criminal cases.
HB 2324 follows House Bill 2749, which Governor Hobbs signed into law earlier this year.
📖 Full details of HB 2324
⚫️ Big Banks, "Woke" Policies & Trump
According to the Wall Street Journal (link), major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Citibank are under fire from Republican-led states for allegedly discriminating against oil, gas, and firearms industries.
The political realignment with Trump’s return has traditional banks adjusting quickly—proving just how fragile and ideologically swayed centralized finance has become.
Bitcoin’s neutrality stands out in this environment, offering a censorship-resistant, decentralized alternative immune to such political volatility.
🔴 Chainlink + Mastercard: Onchain Crypto for Billions
Chainlink Labs and Mastercard are collaborating to let billions of cardholders buy crypto directly onchain.
This is powered by Swapper Finance, with zerohash, Shift4, XSwap Protocol, and Uniswap Labs providing liquidity and tech.
A major step forward for Web3 adoption—blending fiat and crypto in a secure and seamless way.
