New Jersey is taking its first steps toward regulating blockchain and cryptocurrencies, with legislation that many believe will encourage the creation of legitimate fintech and cryptocurrency businesses in the state.

The Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee approved legislation sponsored by Senator Nellie Pou (D-Passaic/Bergen) that would establish the “Digital Asset and Blockchain Technology Act.” This came on the heels of the passage in the State Assembly of a similar bill sponsored by Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez (D-District 19) and her colleagues.

The U.S. is planning to hand out $10 billion to help upstart companies gain access to capital in a bid to rev up business in disadvantaged communities and spur a broader economic recovery from the pandemic.

The State Small Business Credit Initiative will direct money to states, territories and tribal governments for programs that provide venture capital or encourage private lenders to issue loans to small firms. The program revives a policy put into place following the 20072009 recession, when banks cut back on lending to small firms.
