US state Connecticut blocks cryptocurrencies for the public sector

Connecticut has taken a clear step to keep digital assets out of government matters.

A new law at the end of May was adoptedwill prevent any part of the state from accepting or investing – be it at local or federal level – cryptocurrencies.

From October 1, 2025, public institutions across Connecticut will be prohibited from keeping crypto reserves or accepting digital currencies as a means of payment. The law, known as House Bill 7082, was unanimously adopted in both chambers and signals a rare cross -party agreement regarding the limitation of the role of cryptocurrencies in public finances.

This law also prevents the creation of a state-managed cryptocurrency reserve-a concept that is examined at the federal level and is already being implemented in other countries that are crowded on Bitcoin-supported strategies.

While dozens of states have introduced similar initiatives, Connecticut joins a smaller group – including Arizona, Florida and Utah – who have decided against such initiatives.

With this step, Connecticut clearly positions itself in the camp of cryptoskeptic, while others continue to debate how digital assets should fit into the future of public finances.
