The 25th most populous U.S. state is creating a cryptocurrency adoption council, according to a report by The Daily Advertiser, a regional newspaper based in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Rep. Mark Wright of Louisiana introduced a resolution to create a committee that, after being approved by the House Appropriations Committee, must pass the full House before it enters the Louisiana Senate.
Wright also proposed a bill that would allow politicians to accept campaign contributions in cryptocurrencies. The Republican lawmaker believes that Louisiana could become a trailblazer in the crypto space.
