The State of Delaware has passed amendments to the state law that make explicit the rights of individuals to trade stocks via a blockchain. With the bill passed almost unanimously all that is needed for it to be enacted into law is for the State Governor John Carney, to sign the bill at the end of July with an effective date of the first of August. Chair of the corporate law section of the Delaware bar association Matthew O'Toole said:
"We look forward to helping Delaware corporations enjoy the benefits of this innovative new amalgamation of law and technology."
