NEO founder: The U.S. House of Representatives passes a Bitcoin bill, officially recognizing it as a "store of value" asset

ChainCatcher news, NEO founder Da Hongfei disclosed that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Bitcoin bill (176-26), which officially recognizes Bitcoin as a "store of value" asset for the first time, positioning it similarly to digital gold, while classifying Ethereum as a utility token. Da Hongfei stated that this bill will mean in practice:

• Banks can now officially hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset;
• Local and federal governments have clear guidelines on BTC reserves;
• Institutions finally gain the regulatory clarity they need;
• The global market may follow this framework.
