California’s Crypto Payments Bill Clears Assembly, Heads to Senate
Reading Time: < 1 minute
California’s Assembly has advanced a bill that would authorize state departments to accept cryptocurrency for fees and services.
AB 1180, which passed with unanimous support, requires the DFPI to develop rules for crypto transactions under the state’s Digital Financial Assets Law.
Crypto businesses operating in California must already obtain a DFPI license, and this bill would expand the use of digital assets in government payments.
If approved by the Senate and signed by Governor Newsom, the law would take effect in 2026, with a five-year pilot phase before full implementation.
