History of Bitcoin in Arizona
Arizona has been one of the more progressive US states regarding cryptocurrency adoption and regulation. In 2017, Arizona made headlines by becoming one of the first states to officially recognize blockchain signatures and smart contracts through House Bill 2417.
In 2018, Arizona attempted to pass Senate Bill 1091, which would have allowed residents to pay their taxes using cryptocurrencies. While this bill ultimately didn't pass, it demonstrated the state's forward-thinking approach to digital assets. Arizona defines virtual currencies as digital representations of value that function as a medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of value.
