🚨 MAJOR RED FLAG FOR CRYPTO HOLDERS IN CALIFORNIA ⚠️
California just crossed a dangerous line. Governor Gavin Newsom signed new legislation (SB 822 / AB 1052) that brings digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other tokens under the state's Unclaimed Property Law.
Starting January 1, 2026:
If your crypto sits inactive on a centralized exchange or custodial platform for 3 years — and the platform can't successfully contact you — the state can take custody of those assets as “unclaimed property.”
Even if you’re a long-term HODLer who never plans to sell. Even if it’s 100% yours. This treats modern digital assets like forgotten bank accounts or old checks from the 20th century.
Why this is deeply concerning:
It punishes true long-term holders who believe in “not your keys, not your coins.”
It opens the door to greater government overreach in the crypto space.
It undermines the fundamental principle of financial sovereignty and self-custody.
Once the state steps in and takes control (even temporarily), the line between real ownership and state-managed “safekeeping” starts to blur.
California leads the way today… other states could follow tomorrow.
Now enter the bigger picture with Trump:
Trump has repeatedly slammed excessive regulation and government control over money. This exact kind of move is likely to fire up the fight even more — turning it into a major political flashpoint as he pushes for less interference and stronger individual rights over personal assets.
The message has never been louder:
👉 If you don’t truly control it yourself (self-custody), it’s not really yours.
This isn’t progress.
This isn’t consumer protection.
This is outdated traditional finance thinking trying to force its way into the decentralized future.
The warning is real — and this is just the start. 👀🔥
