Additional Information about the North Carolina Blockchain Initiative):
The North Carolina Blockchain Initiative was initially formed in 2019 by Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest to help advance the unique attributes and use-cases of blockchain technology, virtual assets, smart contracts, and digital tokens. North Carolina has been a leader in innovation, and the initiative is intended to ensure the state stays ahead of the curve. Back in 2016, the state became an early mover on blockchain legislation, passing into law House Bill 289 that expanded the state’s Money Transmitters Act to cover activities related to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
