Blockchain is a type of database for storing digital information such as cryptocurrency transactions. With his HB482, Rep. Mark Wright, R-Covington, hopes to attract and encourage the development of companies that use the technology, which may be more in demand as cryptocurrency continues to gain popularity.
The idea of the sandbox is to encourage development of companies in new sectors for which specific regulations donât apply. The companies are lightly regulated at first, giving lawmakers time to create additional regulations, or not, as necessary.
Under Wrightâs proposal, companies would apply to the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions for the two-year program to test their business model.

Hindsight shouldn’t be 2020 on antitrust lawsuit Recently, New York’s Letitia James led 48 other state attorneys general in filing a lawsuit against Facebook on antitrust grounds. Not to be outdone, the Federal Trade Commission then also filed its own antitrust suit against the social media company. Although there are some meaningful differences in the lawsuits, the main contention of both is that Facebook’s purchase of both Instagram and WhatsApp were done to restrict competition, thus giving Facebook a monopoly over “Personal Social Networking Services.” Both lawsuits suggest remedies, including spinning off Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook.
