New York Bill Proposes Allowing Crypto Payments to State Agencies

A newly introduced New York State Assembly bill aims to allow state agencies to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. Assembly Bill A7788, sponsored by Assemblymember Clyde Vanel, proposes that agencies may begin accepting Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash for fines, taxes, rent, and other payments owed to the state. Filed on April 10, 2025, the bill would amend the State Finance Law by adding Section 4-b, granting agencies the authority to enter into agreements with crypto issuers or payment providers. These agreements would define how payments are processed and the conditions under which the state may accept or reject cryptocurrency transactions. If enacted, state agencies could accept crypto for a broad range of obligations, provided that the cryptocurrency issuer confirms the transaction’s validity and converts the cryptocurrency to US dollars within one business day.
