Crypto Campaign Contribution Study

What is happening? Lousiana is considering HR 180 (2022 | LA) that will require a study into whether candidates can accept campaign contributions in the form of crypto currency.

Why is this important? The Federal Election Committee has an opinion that allows for the acceptance of crypto but as an in-kind contribution

How will this be important? This comes on the heels of other crypto legislation this year like in VA where state chartered banks can serve as custodians for crypto; and SB22-025 (2022 | CO) that would allow security token offerings for state capital financing.
