The Digital Chamber launches the State Network initiative to promote encryption policies in U.S. states.

According to ChainCatcher news and reported by Cointelegraph, the crypto advocacy organization The Digital Chamber announced on Monday the launch of a new initiative called “State Network,” aimed at promoting digital asset policy development at the state level across the United States and educating legislators on cryptocurrencies ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The initiative will connect policymakers, regulators, and industry professionals to jointly advance the adoption of Blockchain technology in the United States. Initial members include Michael Saylor's Strategy company, the attestation Distributed Ledger Hedera, and blockchain infrastructure research firm Input Output. Through a partnership with the nonprofit Future Caucus, the State Network will cultivate a group of leaders capable of introducing and supporting digital asset legislation. The initiative will also launch a Microgrants Program pilot project in 2026 to provide funding support for state blockchain associations, university blockchain clubs, and community innovation organizations to develop policy tools and Regulatory Sandbox. Currently, the State Network is active in New York, Arizona, Ohio, and New Hampshire, and plans to conduct a nationwide 2026 digital asset roadshow next year.
