From resisting CBDCs to fully embracing crypto, South Carolina's bill is very information-rich.

Crypto World News reports that South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has signed a bill banning state-level CBDC participation, while also expanding legal protections for Bitcoin users, crypto miners, blockchain developers, and self-custody rights. The bill was signed on May 19 with strong bipartisan support, creating a new legal framework to protect digital asset ownership, blockchain operations, staking services, mining, and crypto payments. A major part of the bill prohibits South Carolina government agencies from accepting, testing, or participating in any Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) projects related to the U.S. Federal Reserve or federal government. The bill also enhances protections for individuals and businesses using digital assets for legitimate payments and transactions, ensuring that people cannot be restricted from accepting crypto payments.
