Texas Senate passes an account that would establish a state crippt reserve

The Texas Senate has adopted a measure in Thursday, which would establish a reserve criptocurrency state under state control. That move comes in just a few days after President Donald Trump announced plans to create US Strategic CRIPTO reserve.
Senate Bill 21The author by the Republican Senar Charles Schvernner Georgetown would allow the State Company to buy, hold and manage Bitcoin and other digital means as a “fence against inflation and economic instability.” The reservation would be financed through legislative means and donations of private citizens and corporations.
The bill would also create a committee to provide investment recommendations for which cryptocurrenci should buy compoiler. If signed in the law, Texas would become the first American state to create its own cryptocurrency reserve.
“This account will allow Texas to diversify our investment approach, participating competitively in the developing digital, financial economy and exploitation of BitCoin and other cryptocurri,” Schvertner said.
Schwertner says that his proposed CRIPTO reserve will be subject to regular third party audits, of which they would publish state legislation every other year.
The bill was made from the Senate with 25 legislators in favor and five. Now moving to the house of Texas for consideration.
Before passing, the proposed account led to a heating debate between Schvertner and Democratic Saint. Roland Gutierreza San Antonio, who raised concerns about the instability of bitcoin and potential risks associated with the distribution of the state funds of cryptocurrency.
“When the economy down, Bitcoin is turned off, and the fluctuations on this thing are madness,” Gutierrez said. “We have so many real concerns in this state and so many citizens looking for the right help and the last thing we have to do is use a technical ship.”
Gutierrez claimed that the use of crypto is “completely unregulated” – the claim that Schvernner pushed back, saying cryptocurrency is regulated by blockchain technology, which is basically a digital book that records transactions. Schvertner added that Blokchain is decentralized, which means that data are not owned or managed by a single entity.
“In a way, it is more responsible because there is a decentralized nature,” Schvertner said. However, Gutierrez was not convinced.
“All I heard was Blokchain and it’s a computer, it’s an algorithm,” Gutierrez asked. “We should let algorithm, that computer and … some crypt bros are regulated?”
Despite the further guticist’s constant shooting point, the account quickly followed most Members who moved to skip the third reading of the law, which was the last step before the proposed law to the next chamber on the next chamber.
Gov. Greg Abbott previously expressed interest in making Texas a hub for use cryto. On Sunday. Trump announced the proposed National CRIPTO Reserve, signals a significant federal confirmation of digital property such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, KSRP, Solana and Cardano.
