In brief The Bitcoin Policy Institute urged the Kentucky Senate to remove Section 33 of HB 380, calling it “technologically impossible” for non-custodial wallets. The provision was buried as a floor amendment in a kiosk regulation bill that passed the House 85-0 and could clear the Senate within days. An expert told Decrypt that hardware wallet providers would likely exit the Kentucky market entirely rather than redesign products in ways that undermine self-custody.

Bitcoin BTC$74,217.02 briefly touched $75,912 early Tuesday before pulling back to $74,372, but the intraday volatility is less interesting than the weekly picture beneath it.CoinDesk reported earlier Tuesday that the push above $75,000 was driven by derivatives activity rather than fresh buying, specifically the closure of large $60,000 put positions that forced market makers to buy spot bitcoin as they rebalanced.
