The Louisiana government has begun accepting cryptocurrency payments, making it the latest state in the United States to offer government services through digital money. John Fleming, the treasurer of Louisiana, announced earlier this week that residents can now use various digital assets to pay for various state services. Residents can now make payments using BTC (BTC), BTCLighting Network, and the stable coin USDC pegged to the US dollar. The state has stated that its first cryptocurrency payment has been completed, which was a fine paid to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries through BTCLighting Network. Although the state accepts cryptocurrency as a form of payment, the funds received will be converted into US dollars.
