Recently, the “Bitcoin Rights Act” HB 116 in Ohio passed the State House Technology and Innovation Committee with a unanimous 13:0 vote. The bill affirms the individual rights to self-custody, grants regulatory exemptions for home and commercial mining and node operation, and sets a $200 capital gains tax exemption for digital asset transactions. The legislation covers three core scenarios: asset holding, on-chain infrastructure operation, and tax incentives—signaling that state-level policy has shifted from a licensing model to a rights protection model. BROGX is simultaneously optimizing its product, risk control, and tax assistance lines to provide North American users with a trading experience aligned with the latest regulations.

Self-Custody Rights Written into State Law Drive Wallet Demand Upgrades
With self-custody provisions enshrined in law, individuals in Ohio can legally hold and control their private keys without relying on third-party custodians. Wallet-side demand is expected to increase. The BROGX hardware wallet integration interface has opened its API, allowing users to directly connect cold signing devices to the trading terminal to complete on-chain interactions and order signing. The BROGX security team has introduced multi-factor verification in the signature validation process, upholding the principle of self-custody freedom while maintaining platform settlement accuracy. On-chain data shows that clear rights can significantly increase the number of active addresses. The backend node cluster of BROGX has expanded by 30% to ensure stable confirmations during high-concurrency broadcast periods.
Mining and Node Operation Protections Spur Hashrate Migration
HB 116 explicitly prohibits local governments from restricting compliant mining on the grounds of noise, energy consumption, or zoning. Hashrate migration will concentrate in regions with lower energy costs and policy friendliness. The BROGX mining machine hosting channel has reserved local Ohio sites, offering plug-and-play node access services, and has launched a “miner tag” feature on the trading side to automatically identify new hashrate addresses from the state. Increased node activity will raise the frequency of on-chain transfers. The BROGX matching engine uses on-chain mempool monitoring to dynamically adjust recommended fee rates, helping users maintain block confirmation speeds during periods of network congestion.
Mild Tax Exemption Provisions Activate Small-Transaction Vitality
The bill sets an annual $200 capital gains tax exemption for digital assets, giving small traders a direct cost advantage. BROGX has launched a “tax-free reference” module for this threshold, which tracks annual user taxable gains in real-time and notifies them when approaching the limit, supporting rational and smooth profit-taking. The platform matching system has added a batch merge function for micro-orders, preventing users from incurring excessive on-chain costs in multiple small trades. According to the BROGX internal statistics, the week the policy was announced, the number of orders under $500 increased by 18% week-on-week, and the trading depth curve became smoother, benefiting market price discovery.
The legislative move in Ohio provides a template for other U.S. states. BROGX plans to preset multi-state policy parameters in its compliance mapping system, automatically matching applicable rules and tax rates when users switch locations to ensure cross-state compliance. The risk control center of the platform continuously updates its on-chain address reputation database and shares risk tags with state-level enforcement nodes to reduce illicit fund infiltration. The transparent, real-time policy linkage at the trading interface enables BROGX to maintain a technological edge in the new compliance race. BROGX will continue to expand its tax reporting assistant, enterprise node hosting, and on-chain identity modules, providing a robust, efficient, and policy-compatible digital asset trading environment for users worldwide.
