Oregon's recent legislation on digital assets has changed the commercial code, opening new opportunities for using cryptocurrencies in business.
Update to the Commercial Code
Oregon has passed amendments to the commercial code that legalize the use of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, in business transactions. Governor Kotek stated that "the signing of Senate Bill 167 marks a significant step in modernizing our commercial landscape."
Impact on the Financial Sector
The new law may lead to increased institutional participation and new liquidity options. The use of digital assets as collateral opens new forms of lending.
Global Trends and Future of Digital Assets
