Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Arizona Senate Finance Committee passed SB 1044 and SCR 1003 by a 4-3 vote. This series of proposals, introduced by Wendy Rogers, aims to exempt virtual currencies from property taxes. If passed, SCR 1003 will allow voters to decide in November whether to formally establish this tax exemption by amending the state constitution. SB 1044 proposes to amend state law to define virtual currencies, defining them as digital representations that are not in US dollars or foreign currencies and serve as a medium of exchange, unit of account, and store of value. Although Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed several crypto-asset-related bills in 2025, including SB 1025 which proposed establishing a strategic reserve for Bitcoin and SB 1024 which allowed the use of crypto assets for tax purposes, this tax exemption proposal has now been transferred to the Senate Rules Committee for further consideration.

According to a report by Standard Chartered analysts, stablecoins pose a real risk to bank deposits globally and in the United States. Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, pointed out in the report that the delay in the US Clarity Act highlighted the risks stablecoins pose to banks. Kendrick estimates that US bank deposits will decrease as the market capitalization of stablecoins grows, by approximately [a percentage of the stablecoin market capitalization's weight]. Regional banks in the US will be most affected, while investment banks will be least affected. The report shows that only 0.02% and 14.5% of Tether's and Circle's reserves are in bank deposits, respectively, indicating extremely low reinvestment rates.
