TechFlow News, July 14, according to Decrypt, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed the HB 639 bill last week, namely the "Blockchain Foundation Act", providing comprehensive legal protection for blockchain developers, miners, validators, and crypto users, and allowing the establishment of a specialized blockchain dispute tribunal in the Superior Court.
The bill's main sponsor, State Representative Keith Ammon, stated that this move aims to protect the fundamental right of individuals to control digital assets through self-custody, and provide a clear legal framework for next-generation fintech enterprises, attracting entrepreneurs, investors, and developers to settle in the state.
Previously, New Hampshire became the first state in the US to pass the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act in May 2025, allowing the state treasury to invest up to 5% of public funds in Bitcoin and precious metal assets such as gold and silver.
