Lawmakers in Wisconsin are aiming to create a friendlier environment for cryptocurrency. On Monday, Republican members of the Wisconsin Assembly introduced Assembly Bill 471 and referred it to the Committee on Financial Institutions. The bill intends to specify clear exemptions from needing a license from the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) for activities related to money transmission. If passed, the bill would make it simpler to accept crypto payments, develop blockchain software, operate mining equipment, or stake tokens without needing a state license.
