The North Carolina House of Representatives has passed a bill, with a 71-44 vote, that opens the door for state government investment in cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. Introduced in February, the bill allows for up to 5% of the state's public funds to be allocated to designated digital assets. This decision reflects a growing interest in blockchain technology and digital currencies. Proponents argue that strategic investment in this emerging market could yield significant returns for the state. The bill now moves to the Senate for further consideration and debate. The Senate's decision will determine whether North Carolina joins other states exploring the potential of cryptocurrency investments. This bill represents a significant step in the evolving landscape of state-level financial strategies regarding digital assets. ```
