Wu learned that the Texas Senate Bill SB1498 will automatically take effect on June 20, 2025 and will be implemented from September 1. The bill authorizes state governments to confiscate digital assets related to specific criminal offenses, including digital currencies, NFTs, and stablecoins, and includes them in the scope of civil asset confiscation. The bill also extends the definition of "gain" to the appreciation of assets from acquisition to confiscation, and requires the transfer of confiscated assets to offline secure wallets managed by law enforcement agencies or state prosecutors. https://www.
