Arkansas Rejects Crypto Mining Restrictions

The Arkansas Senate has rejected Senate Bill 60, which would have prohibited crypto mining facilities within a 30-mile radius of any military facility in the state.
The bill required digital asset mining operations within this zone to cease operations unless they had obtained permits before December 31, 2024.
Arkansas Lawmakers Say No to Crypto Mining Restrictions
Senate Bill 60, titled “To Prohibit a Digital Asset Mining Business from Being Located Within a Thirty-Mile Radius of a Military Facility,” was rejected on Thursday in a 6-1 vote, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Senator Ricky Hill and Representative Brian S. Evans introduced the bill. They argued that while digital asset mining—commonly known as crypto mining—presents economic opportunities, it also carries risks.
“Risks posed by digital asset mining include without limitation threats to national security and the security of the State of Arkansas,” the bill read.
The bill added that these crypto mining risks are heightened when such facilities operate within a thirty-mile radius of military bases in Arkansas.
“This act is immediately necessary in order to ensure the health and safety of the State of Arkansas and its citizens,” the bill asserted.
Had it passed, the legislation would have required digital asset mining businesses within the designated radius to shut down. This would have applied unless they had obtained permits from the Oil and Gas Commission before December 31, 2024.
Additionally, ongoing construction of mining facilities within these zones would have been required to cease. The bill also granted the Attorney General the authority to investigate potential violations. This included the power to issue subpoenas and collect sworn statements to enforce compliance.
Despite these provisions, the bill failed to gain sufficient support, leaving digital asset mining businesses free to operate without the proposed restrictions.
This development follows Arkansas’ April 2023 “Right to Mine” law. The law protected Bitcoin mining activities in the state by loosening restrictions on commercial crypto mining. Nonetheless, it faced substantial opposition, with critics citing environmental and energy consumption concerns.
Meanwhile, lawmakers in North Dakota have introduced legislation to safeguard the rights of cryptocurrency users and miners. Representative Nathan Toman has put forward a bill designed to protect fundamental Bitcoin-related rights.
Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, confirmed the bill’s introduction via social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“This bill will protect the: Right-to-Mine – Right Self-Custody – Right to Peer-2-peer Transactions – Right to Run a Node,” Porter stated.
These developments come as interest in crypto grows at the national level. President Donald Trump, now serving his second term, has voiced strong support for the domestic Bitcoin mining industry. He has publicly advocated for all future Bitcoin mining to take place within the US, reinforcing his administration’s pro-crypto stance.

Trump’s White House Crypto Summit: Experts Discuss Key Agendas and Potential Market Impact

On Friday, US President Donald Trump is set to host a high-stakes White House Crypto Summit, a meeting that could significantly shape the future of digital assets in the United States.
With a commitment to “making the US the crypto capital of the world,” Trump’s crypto summit will be a crucial watch for crypto enthusiasts this week. Traders and investors alike will watch closely, as the summit’s outcome could influence market trends and investor sentiment.
Experts Highlight Potential Topics of Discussion
According to experts, one of the potential announcements is a proposal to eliminate capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency sales. Investor Mike Alfred has suggested that Trump’s administration is preparing to make this official at the summit.
“Sources say the Trump administration [is] preparing to announce zero capital gains on crypto sales at Friday’s crypto summit,” Alfred shared on X (Twitter).
Ran Neuner, crypto analyst and founder of Crypto Banter, shares the sentiment. He noted that the summit could focus on broader industry incentives. Specifically, he speculated that discussions might include tax breaks for US-based crypto projects. The analyst also anticipates incentives to bring blockchain developers back to the country.
This could mean preferential treatment for “Made in America” tokens, furthering Trump’s economic strategy.
If implemented, this policy could encourage more trading and long-term investment in digital assets, potentially making the US an attractive destination for crypto businesses. Lower tax barriers could also bring substantial institutional capital into the sector and increase retail investor participation.
“Taxation is theft. It should be kept to a minimum. It’s wrong to steal my money for grift on the left; it’s also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes. Efficient defense, courts, national parks (should fund themselves), prisons, etc – fine. Cut it out with these schemes guys,” investor Joe Lonsdale quipped.
Another potential topic is how to fund the US crypto reserve. BeInCrypto reported the establishment of this reserve, highlighting the inclusion of Ripple’s XRP token, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA).
Already, there is contention about the place of XRP and ADA in the crypto reserve. Some have called out Trump for committing to buy XRP and ADA with federal dollars. While some see it as a step toward legitimizing crypto, critics argue that these assets have little utility.
Meanwhile, Udi Wertheimer, another popular user on X, suggested that Trump’s approach is a negotiation tactic. According to the user, it is aimed at securing congressional approval for a Bitcoin-centric reserve.
“The best take I’ve seen by far regarding the strategic reserve is that this is just a classic trump negotiation tactic. For a true reserve to happen, Trump will have to convince Congress…In Trump’s chess language, this just means he’s telling Congress if you don’t give me a Bitcoin reserve, I’m going to ram Ripple down your throats,” Wertheimer opined.
Others, like Naval Ravikant, also voiced concerns.
“The US taxpayer should not be exit liquidity for cryptocurrencies that are decentralized in name only,” Ravikant wrote.
Notwithstanding, the success of these initiatives could transform the American crypto playing field, attracting investors, builders, and projects back to the US. However, skeptics argue that the government’s involvement in crypto markets could lead to unnecessary risks and inefficiencies.
Key Attendees and Market Implications
It remains unknown whether official invitations have been sent out. Fox Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett noted that industry executives are still awaiting confirmation, suggesting a roster of influential figures could attend.
However, likely attendees include Trump, crypto Czar David Sacks, and Bo Hines, who leads Trump’s digital assets advisory council. Beyond these, major figures from the crypto industry could also feature in the attendee’s list, positioning specific tokens for impact.

The correlation between these tokens and their associated industry leaders is significant, as their presence at the summit suggests possible policy benefits or new government partnerships.
With the summit’s focus on US-based crypto companies, future policy decisions could favor projects that align with domestic interests. If Trump follows through with tax incentives and federal crypto investments, the market could see a wave of bullish sentiment for these tokens.
Conversely, if the crypto community perceives the reserve initiative as unfeasible or politically motivated, it may result in negative market reactions. Ultimately, Friday’s Crypto Summit will set the stage for the next phase of US crypto policy.
