The Digital Chamber launches the State Network initiative to promote encryption policies in various states of the United States.

According to a report by Cointelegraph on November 18, the crypto advocacy organization The Digital Chamber announced the launch of a new initiative called “State Network” on Monday, aimed at promoting the formulation of digital asset policies at the state level in the United States and educating legislators on crypto assets ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The initiative will connect policymakers, regulators, and industry professionals to advance the adoption of Blockchain technology in the United States.

The first members include Michael Saylor's Strategy company, the proof-of-stake distributed ledger Hedera, and the blockchain infrastructure research company Input Output. Through collaboration with the nonprofit organization Future Caucus, State Network will cultivate a group of leaders capable of introducing and supporting digital asset legislation.

The program will also launch a Microgrants Program pilot project in 2026, providing funding support to state Blockchain associations, university Blockchain clubs, and community innovation organizations to develop policy tools and regulatory sandboxes. Currently, the State Network is working in New York, Arizona, Ohio, and New Hampshire, and plans to conduct a nationwide 2026 digital asset tour next year.
