The Arizona Senate recently approved a bill urging the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) and the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) to explore the inclusion of Bitcoin ETFs in their portfolios.
This Arizona Bitcoin ETF proposal follows the recent approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for trading Bitcoin ETFs, allowing institutional investors to access cryptocurrency through regulated channels.
The bill, which passed the Senate with a 16-13 vote, underscores the importance of monitoring Bitcoin ETF developments and consulting SEC-approved firms.
The proposal mandates ASRS and PSPRS to prepare a detailed report assessing the risks, benefits, and feasibility of integrating spot Bitcoin ETFs into the state’s pension funds. It also garnered bipartisan support, although Democrats ultimately opposed it. Notably, Republican State Senator Wendy Rogers, an advocate for cryptocurrencies, voted in favor despite a previous bill on the topic failing to progress.
While some retirement funds have already ventured into digital assets, the U.S. Department of Labor has expressed caution regarding cryptocurrency inclusion due to its speculative nature and volatile market behavior.
If the resolution passes through both chambers, ASRS and PSPRS will submit a comprehensive report outlining options and recommendations for investing in Bitcoin ETFs. The Arizona Bitcoin ETF proposal aims to equip the retirement systems with the necessary information to diversify portfolios and explore growth opportunities.
