New Hampshire House Bill HB639 was officially enrolled on July 1. The bill states that state and local governments may not restrict individuals from using digital assets for payments or from holding assets through self-custody wallets, and they may not impose additional taxes solely because digital assets are used. It also clarifies that individuals and businesses operating nodes, mining, or staking are not required to obtain money transmitter licenses, and such activities are not considered the issuance or sale of securities. In addition, the bill authorizes the state Supreme Court to establish a dedicated blockchain disputes court to handle related civil cases. According to the bill text, the measure will take effect 60 days after passage.
