    Kentucky Passes Bitcoin and Ethereum Self-Custody Law

    Kentucky Gov. Andy Beashear yesterday signed House Bill 701, which offers greater protections for users who self-custody their Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. To self-custody Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency means that a user has full control over the private key needed to authorize transactions. It's more like having cash in a wallet than using a debit card to authorize your bank to send someone money. Users who prefer that freedom also carry sole responsibility for protecting their holdings. A ma...
