Kentucky removes 'backdoor ban' on BTC self-custody from bill

The U.S. state of Kentucky has removed a provision from a legislative bill that could have acted as a "backdoor ban" on BTC self-custody, Cointelegraph reported via X. The bill is now awaiting the governor's signature. While the initial draft contained language that could have indirectly restricted an individual's right to self-custody cryptocurrencies, this section was deleted during the legislative process, thereby preserving the right for users to self-custody their BTC.
