Fact Check
The strongest directly observed evidence is the fetched PANews article, which clearly states the claim and attributes it to Cointelegraph. However, PANews is a secondary source, and the linked Cointelegraph X post at https://x.com/Cointelegraph/status/2039905942901326081 could not be fetched in this run. Multiple corroboration searches did not return a Kentucky legislative page, bill text, amendment history, or another authoritative report confirming that anti-self-custody language was removed before gubernatorial review. Because the claim hinges on a specific legislative change and no primary legislative source was successfully obtained, the available evidence is not strong enough to rate it likely true or false.
