Asian Fund Managers Turn More Optimistic on Growth but Curb Equity Return Expectations: BofA Survey 
Texas has tabled House Bill 4258, which suggests placing up to $250 million from the economic stabilization fund into Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. Senate Bill 778, intended to incorporate cryptocurrency in the state's financial framework and already received bipartisan backing in the Senate, has come first. HB 4258 varies because it lets counties and municipalities invest as much as $10 million in cryptocurrencies and is scheduled to become effective on September 1, 2025, if passed.
Texas is positioning itself strategically as a Bitcoin adoption leader, leveraging its distinctive economic environment, most notably the Texas Triangle, to fuel digital asset innovation. The state's initiative is part of a larger national movement, with several states investigating similar digital asset models.
These advances point to expanding cryptocurrency acceptance at the state level, possibly driving future federal policies or projects, like the creation of a federal Bitcoin reserve. Approval in the House is pending for the passing of SB 21, creating the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and hopes to make Texas the first digital asset reserve state.
