A 7788 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes cryptocurrencies as a form of payment for state agencies

This bill allows New York state agencies to accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as payment for fees, fines, taxes, and other obligations owed to the state. It directly affects individuals and businesses paying state charges, as well as state agencies managing payments. Key provisions require state agencies to establish agreements with cryptocurrency issuers detailing terms, allow service fees up to transaction costs, and treat crypto payments as conditional until fully processed. The bill does not change existing debts or obligations but adds crypto as an optional payment method under specific contractual terms.
