Woofun AI reports that New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 639 into law, officially designating it as The Blockchain Basic Laws. This legislation grants specific protections for cryptocurrency innovation and usage within the state while authorizing the creation of a special blockchain dispute docket in the superior court.

Previously, New Hampshire approved a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill permitting the state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of public funds toward Bitcoin and precious metals like gold and silver. Conversely, the state's Executive Council recently declined a proposal that would have enabled the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to issue Bitcoin-backed municipal bonds.
