In a significant move for cryptocurrency regulation, South Dakota has introduced House Bill 1155, which focuses on enhancing the security of Bitcoin custodianship. The source reports that this legislation aims to bolster investor confidence in the management of digital assets as it undergoes legislative review.
House Bill 1155 and Secure Custodianship
House Bill 1155 emphasizes the importance of secure custodianship by incorporating advanced security measures. These include:

Growing Recognition of Security in Cryptocurrency
