Washington’s Blockchain Bill is now state law. Governor Jay Inslee officially signed Substitute Senate Bill 5638 (SB 5638) into law on April 26th enshrining the act “recognizing the validity of distributed ledger technology” into state law.

This morning’s passage of Washington State’s new Blockchain Bill SB 5638 by a unanimous vote indicates legislators are committed to making up for past missteps and supporting blockchain and distributed ledger technology innovation in Washington State.
