Alabama has become the second U.S. state to grant legal status to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), following Wyoming. According to BlockBeats, the state's governor signed the Decentralized Non-Registered Nonprofit Association Act on April 2, providing DAOs with legal recognition and limited liability protection. This legislation allows DAOs to function as full legal entities, enabling them to own property, engage in legal proceedings, and enter contracts, while protecting individual members and managers from personal liability. To qualify, a DAO must have at least 100 members and be formed for a common nonprofit purpose, such as governing blockchain networks or smart contract systems.
The head of policy at a16z Crypto emphasized that decentralized governance is central to the future of cryptocurrency, and this law offers decentralized communities the certainty needed to build, govern, and expand in the real world. A similar bill in West Virginia has passed the House and is awaiting the governor's signature.#Alabama #DAO #DecentralizedAutonomousOrganization #Blockchain #Crypto #Legislation #LegalRecognition #Nonprofit #SmartContracts #DecentralizedGovernance #a16z #WestVirginia

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party has introduced a comprehensive bill outlining standards for the tokenization of physical assets. According to PANews, the legislation requires issuers to deposit related assets into a management trust in accordance with capital market laws, with specific details to be determined by presidential decree.
The bill also addresses stablecoins, stipulating that if used for foreign exchange transactions, they will be considered a payment method under foreign exchange laws, automatically falling under the supervision of foreign exchange management without the need for additional registration. For everyday consumer payments, stablecoins are exempt from reporting obligations.
Furthermore, the legislation prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest to holders under any circumstances. The Financial Services Commission is tasked with developing interoperability technical standards for stablecoins to prevent liquidity fragmentation when Korean won stablecoins are issued across multiple chains.
