Florida Senator Proposes Bill To Recognize Gold, Silver, And Digital Currency As Legal Tender

ByVictoria

Follow up to Gold and Silver may be adopted as legal tender in Florida

Sponsored by Senator Rodriguez, Senate Bill 132 aims to redefine financial transactions, taxation, and payment of debts using these alternative forms of currency.

The legislation would also exempt transactions involving gold, silver, and related currencies from taxation. The move reflects a growing interest in alternative monetary systems as a hedge against economic uncertainties.

The proposed bill includes several significant measures:

・Definition of Legal Tender:

・Tax Exemptions:

・Government Acceptance:

・Prohibition on Compulsion:

・Regulatory Framework:

If passed, SB 132 would make Florida one of the few states to officially recognize gold, silver, and digital currencies as legal tender.

    Freeport-McMoRan hopes copper will be declared “critical mineral”

    Freeport-McMoRan (FCX.N), opens new tab hopes U.S. President Donald Trump declares copper a critical mineral, a move that would unlock tax credits needed to boost American production of the red metal and offset global rivals, CEO Kathleen Quirk said on Monday.

    “Having the incentives and clarity around those would be a big plus for the domestic copper industry,” said Quirk, who became CEO of Phoenix-based Freeport last year.

    “People are understanding more what copper is used for and its importance in our economy. It’s just a matter of time before it’s classified as a critical mineral.”

    “We’re not looking for handouts, but if the government is trying to incentivize domestic production, it’s important to recognize that the U.S. doesn’t have the same grades that we have internationally,” said Quirk.

    Gold keeps reaching new highs

    Gold touched an all-time high on Monday, breaching the $3,100 level, as investors turned to the safe-haven asset amid concerns that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff plans would stoke a global trade war and economic fallout.

    Spot gold was up 0.6% to $3,103.63 an ounce, as of 0255 GMT, after hitting a record high of $3,107.26 earlier. Bullion is up over 8% in March.

    “Markets anxiety levels have been ramping up ahead of the reciprocal U.S. tariff announcements, which is keeping gold in high demand as a defensive play,” KCM Trade chief market analyst, Tim Waterer said.

    “If the tariff announcements this week are not as severe as feared, then the gold price could start to backtrack as profit-taking from the highs may be triggered.”

    Spot silver rose 0.4% to $34.23 an ounce, platinum was steady at $983.51 and palladium gained 0.4% to $975.70.
