Arizona Governor Calls Crypto an ‘Untested Investment,’ Vetoes Bitcoin Reserve Bill

Arizona’s governor just gutted a bill that would’ve let the state hold Bitcoin in its treasury—calling crypto ’an untested investment’ in a veto that stings like a 50% drawdown.

Another win for bureaucratic risk aversion: while Wall Street gambles with taxpayer money on derivatives, politicians suddenly develop an allergy to volatility when it’s decentralized.

The move leaves Arizona trailing crypto-forward states like Wyoming—proving once again that regulatory courage moves at the speed of dial-up internet.
