- Missouri advances bill to include XRP in official crypto reserve
- XRP joins Bitcoin and Ethereum in proposed state reserve structure
- Arizona and Missouri push forward digital asset reserve legislation together
Missouri’s push to formalize crypto holdings at the state level has gained traction after House Bill 2080 advanced in the legislative process, placing XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum within a proposed government-managed reserve structure. The update has drawn attention across the XRP community, especially because the bill explicitly names XRP as an eligible asset under the framework.
The proposal outlines the creation of a Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve Fund designed to allow the state to hold and manage selected digital assets under the oversight of the state treasurer. Notably, XRP’s inclusion has become a central focus as lawmakers define how specific cryptocurrencies may fit into public financial systems.

Bill Advances to Full Missouri House as XRP Confirmed in Reserve Plan
According to Diana on X, the bill has now officially passed out of committee with a “do pass” recommendation dated March 12, 2026. This development marks a key turning point, as the legislation now moves to the full Missouri House for debate and a vote in the coming weeks. If approved, the proposal will proceed to the Senate before reaching the governor.
Additionally, details within the bill confirm that XRP will sit alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and USDC within the proposed reserve structure. This combination reflects a diversified digital asset approach while signaling a structured effort to integrate blockchain networks into state-level financial management.
Similar Legislative Momentum Builds as Arizona Bill Progresses
This development comes as another state advances a comparable initiative. As reported by 36crypto, Arizona Senate Bill 1649 recently cleared the Senate Rules Committee, marking further progress in its legislative process.
Notably, the Arizona bill had already passed the Senate Finance Committee in February, and it is now moving closer to a full floor vote in the Arizona Senate. The continued progress confirms that digital asset reserve proposals are gaining traction across multiple states.
Legal Definitions and Custody Framework Take Shape
Moreover, Missouri’s legislation introduces clear definitions for digital assets, blockchain systems, and stablecoins to guide implementation. These definitions reduce uncertainty around custody and compliance within public sector adoption.
The bill also outlines secure storage through cold storage solutions, ensuring protection against unauthorized access. Funds within the reserve would remain separate and would not revert at the fiscal year end, supporting long-term asset management. The proposal sets a potential effective date of August 28, 2026, if it clears all stages.
