Arizona Governor Axes Crypto Bills—But Greenlights Bitcoin ATMs in Regulatory Twist
Arizona’s governor just played regulatory whack-a-mole—smacking down broader crypto legislation while oddly embracing Bitcoin ATMs. Talk about missing the forest for the blockchain.
The vetoed bills would’ve provided clearer rules for digital assets. Meanwhile, the ATM approval lets you buy crypto at 20% markup next to Walmart—progress, Wall Street-style.
Another case of politicians cherry-picking crypto adoption while the real infrastructure gathers dust. But hey, at least the lobbyists got their ATM fees secured.
