Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed HB4488 into law, providing significant protection for Bitcoin reserves within the state. As reported by CryptoBriefing, this bill prevents the automatic abolishment or absorption of these reserves into other state funds. HB4488 effectively establishes Bitcoin reserves as a permanent fund, offering long-term security for these digital assets. This move underscores Texas's growing embrace of cryptocurrency and its potential role in the state's financial landscape. While HB4488 focuses on safeguarding existing reserves, the Governor is yet to decide on the Bitcoin Strategy Reserve Bill (SB21). SB21 proposes allowing the state government to directly invest in Bitcoin, a potentially transformative step that could further integrate cryptocurrency into Texas's economic strategy. The future of Bitcoin in Texas looks bright, pending further decisions on investment strategies. ```
