Iran’s parliament speaker claims 7 million fighters ready, ceasefire odds drop

Arizona lawmakers are weighing a bill that would let the state keep digital 
assets in a reserve instead of selling them off, and XRP is one of the names 
on the list. Related Reading: Bitcoin Ends 5-Month Losing Run — Real Reversal 
Or Just April Fool’s Hype? The proposal would place those assets under the 
state treasurer’s control, and it could also let the state earn extra returns 
through staking, airdrops, or limited lending if the move does not raise 
financial risk. What The Fund Would Hold SB1649 creates a Digital Assets 
Strategic Reserve Fund made up of digital assets that are held by, confiscated 
by, or surrendered to Arizona. The bill text also says the treasurer could 
deposit state-held digital assets through a secure custody solution or an 
approved exchange-traded product, then administer the fund directly. It 
defines “digital asset” broadly enough to include Bitcoin, XRP, stablecoins, 
nonfungible tokens, Dash, Internet Computer, Ravencoin, Chia, eCash, Monero, 
and other digital-only assets that meet the bill’s fair-value test. That fair- 
value test is built around adoption, annual transactions, annual transaction 
value, and development activity. In plain terms, the bill tries to sort assets 
by market use and technical strength before they can be treated as reserve 
holdings. The wording is broad, but it is not an open-ended invitation to buy 
anything. It sets a screening standard first. A Bill That Keeps Moving The 
measure has already cleared the House Rules Committee and is headed to a full 
House vote. Arizona legislative tracking shows the committee approved it 8-0 
on March 30, after earlier Senate action sent it across the chamber. That 
means the bill is still alive, but it is not law yet. The House step matters 
because it moves the proposal closer to the finish line. The bill would give 
the treasurer authority to manage the fund, and it would also allow digital 
assets reported as abandoned property to be delivered in native form to the 
state or its custodian. If those assets sit unclaimed long enough, staking 
rewards and airdrops could be shifted into the reserve fund. Related Reading:

XRP Is In The Mix XRP has drawn extra attention because it is named directly 
in the bill, not implied through a broad crypto category. The same section

qualify under the reserve framework. Featured image from Meta, chart from
