In a most audacious move, the esteemed legislators of Wisconsin have introduced a bill on Monday, which, if passed, would liberate their fellow citizens from the onerous yoke of money transmitter licenses for the noble pursuits of crypto mining, staking, and exchanging digital assets. One might inquire, “Does this mean I may now exchange my hard-earned pennies for cryptocurrency without the tedium of paperwork?!” The answer, it seems, is a resounding “Yes, indeed!”
According to the esteemed Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau, the bill aims to clarify, with the precision of a well-penned letter, that certain activities-such as mining, staking, and developing blockchain software-are exempt from the Department of Financial Institutions’ licensing requirements. A most sensible arrangement, one must concede, for who could possibly keep track of such minutiae?
Under the auspices of Wisconsin Assembly Bill 471, individuals and businesses may partake in these endeavors without the necessity of a DFI license. Even the exchange of digital assets is spared, provided one does not engage in the heinous act of converting them into legal tender or bank deposits. A most charitable exemption, though one suspects the banks will not be pleased.
“Under the bill,” the document proclaims with solemnity, “no state agency or political subdivision may prohibit or restrict a person from accepting digital assets as payment for goods and services, or from safeguarding them via self-hosted wallets.” One might imagine Mr. Darcy himself declaring, “You must allow me to take custody of your assets, for I am most trustworthy.”
The bill further bestows upon citizens the right to operate nodes, develop blockchain software, transfer assets via blockchain, and partake in staking. A veritable buffet of liberties, one must say. The bill’s proponents argue it will reduce the “legal gray area” surrounding crypto regulation-a phrase that surely makes the legal profession shudder.
The bill, sponsored by seven Republicans in the House and two in the Senate, now rests in the Committee on Financial Institutions. According to Legiscan, its chances of passage stand at a modest 25%, requiring it to traverse one chamber and two committees. A journey as treacherous as a first dance at Netherfield, perhaps, but with fewer ball gowns and more blockchain.
