California’s Assembly Bill 1052 (AB 1052), now the "Digital Assets" bill, aims to protect Bitcoin and cryptocurrency rights for its 39.4 million residents.

This move follows similar legislation in Kentucky, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Currently in the desk process, the bill must pass the Assembly and Senate before reaching Governor Gavin Newsom. If enacted, it could make California a leader in crypto-friendly regulation and drive wider Bitcoin adoption.
