Interestingly, Florida is now starting to consider crypto asset allocation. State Senator Joe Gruters recently promoted two related bills to establish a "Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve," managed by the state treasurer, as an important part of the government's long-term asset allocation.
How is this reserve funded? It is mainly injected through legislative appropriations, fiscal revenues, and direct purchases of crypto assets. But there is a strict requirement — only mainstream cryptocurrencies with an average market capitalization of over $500 billion in the past two years can be invested in. In other words, they want to select the most recognized coins in the market.
To ensure proper management, the state also plans to establish an advisory committee and set up a regular reporting mechanism to track operations. Currently, these two bills are still in the proposal stage, and actual review and voting will have to wait until the 2026 state legislative session. The signals from this move are quite clear — the traditional financial system's attitude towards crypto assets is indeed changing.

Wait, is Florida really going all in? The 500 billion market cap bottom line directly caps meme coins. Clever.

No way, are US state governments starting to allocate crypto assets? This is really a sign of mainstream adoption.

Florida is really serious now, with a $500 billion threshold that directly filters out 99% of the coins.

Oh my, Florida is getting competitive too. Traditional finance really has to admit defeat.

Oh my, traditional finance is really starting to get on board. Florida's move is a clever chess move.

Only mainstream coins can be touched. This restriction is a bit conservative, but it's understandable given the government's caution.
---
Voting in 2026? That's a bit slow; by then, the landscape will have changed.
---
The state government directly allocates crypto; this time, they're serious.
---
Speaking of the $500 billion threshold, it's basically BTC and ETH, right?
---
Advisory committee + regular reports—feels like doing homework, not just simple and rough all-in.
---
The US is starting to allocate; when will the domestic market catch up?
---
Damn, traditional finance also wants a piece of the pie. No wonder the crypto world is so competitive.
---
Limiting to only mainstream coins is really prudent. Stop messing with those small tokens.
