New York bill proposes legalizing Bitcoin, crypto for state payments

A New York lawmaker has introduced legislation that would allow state agencies to accept cryptocurrency payments, signaling growing political momentum for digital asset integration in public services. Assembly Bill A7788 , introduced by Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, seeks to amend state financial law to allow New York state agencies to accept cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. It would permit state agencies to accept payments in Bitcoin ( BTC ), Ether ( ETH ), Litecoin ( LTC ) and Bitcoin Cash ( BCH ), according to the bill’s text. Source: Nysenate.gov According to the bill, state offices could authorize crypto payments for “fines, civil penalties, rent, rates, taxes, fees, charges, revenue, financial obligations or other amounts,” as well as penalties, special assessments and interest.

In March, New York introduced Bill A06515, aiming to establish criminal penalties to prevent cryptocurrency fraud and protect investors from rug pulls. Crypto-focused legislation has gathered momentum since President Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20, with Trump signaling during his campaign that his administration intends to make crypto policy a national priority , as well as making the US a global hub for blockchain innovation.

It would allow state entities to integrate cryptocurrency into the payment infrastructure used for collecting public funds. The proposal also includes a clause allowing the state to impose a service fee on those choosing to pay with crypto. According to the text, the state may require “a service fee not exceeding costs incurred by the state in connection with the cryptocurrency payment transaction.” This could include transaction costs or fees owed to crypto issuers. Assembly Bill A7788 has been referred to the Assembly Committee for review and may advance to the state Senate as the next step. New York’s legislation comes shortly after the state of Illinois passed a crypto bil l to fight fraud and rug pulls after the recent wave of insider schemes related to memecoins, Cointelegraph reported on April 11.
