It was conveyed in a statement by Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber, that through collaboration with the nonprofit Future Caucus, the initiative is expected to cultivate leaders equipped to propose and support crypto legislation.
A new initiative has been unveiled by the crypto advocacy group The Digital Chamber to propel digital asset policies at the state level across the U.S. and inform lawmakers in the period preceding the $2026 midterm elections.
Designated the State Network, the initiative is targeted at establishing a collaborative framework connecting policymakers, regulators, and industry participants who seek to accelerate blockchain utilization across the U.S., it was disclosed by The Digital Chamber on Monday.
Initial participants of the network encompass Michael Saylor’s company Strategy, the proof-of-stake public distributed ledger Hedera, and the blockchain infrastructure research company Input Output, as stipulated by The Digital Chamber.
Crypto Education Remains a Key Component
Simultaneously, through a partnership with the nonprofit Future Caucus, the State Network is dedicated to informing lawmakers in target states and guaranteeing that they are equipped with the expertise to assist in formulating crypto policies.
It was declared in a press release by Cody Carbone, the CEO of The Digital Chamber, that the collaboration with Future Caucus is also intended to instruct future leaders about cryptocurrency.
“This partnership will help develop a bench of strong leaders ready to introduce and support digital asset legislation and advocate for crypto policy that will propel states to lead the future of finance.”
A significant function has already been fulfilled by crypto in the $2024 federal elections, with over $134 million being expended by crypto companies through campaign donations and media acquisitions.
Additional Grants Now Available
Along with education and the advancement of a unified mandate on legislation, a Microgrants Program pilot is additionally incorporated by the State Network to foster the growth of state blockchain associations, university blockchain clubs, and community innovation collectives.
Scheduled for launch in $2026, the grants pilot is oriented toward developing policy instruments and experimental environments to promote digital asset lawmaking and nurture grassroots policy education, as conveyed by The Digital Chamber.
It was stated by Anastasia Dellaccio, executive director of the State Network, that the grants represent the group’s “first undertaking to foster advocacy collectives equipped to organize education and advocacy campaigns in state capitals across the nation.”
“We are proud to provide tangible support to emerging groups working to educate policymakers on the benefits of developing principled digital asset policy,”
she added.
State Network Already Active at the Local Level
Prior to its official launch on Monday, it was announced by The Digital Chamber that its State Network had already commenced operations in four U.S. states—New York, Arizona, Ohio, and New Hampshire—to instruct lawmakers on blockchain.
A state advocacy tour is also being planned for next year, the $2026 Digital Asset Tour, which is intended to interact with lawmakers and policymakers in state assemblies across the nation.
