An Indiana lawmaker proposed to include Bitcoin in pension plans and to prevent the establishment of rules that restrict the use of cryptocurrencies

According to Decrypt, a lawmaker in Indiana introduced legislation on Thursday aimed at expanding the avenues for state savers to access digital assets while preventing local governments from enacting rules that could restrict the use of cryptocurrencies.

The bill requires that retirement and savings plans used by public employees must offer cryptocurrency ETFs as an investment option. Additionally, the bill seeks to limit local governments from creating rules that "unreasonably" restrict the use of digital assets in payments, cryptocurrency mining, or personal self-custody of digital assets. The bill has been submitted to the Indiana House Financial Institutions Committee.
