As Congress and federal regulators continue to seek consensus on modernizing rules and developing the right guardrails for digital assets, AI, and blockchain, states across the U.S. are not waiting to adopt their own rules. Across the country, policymakers are developing legislation around these emerging technologies as they understand embracing the potential will attract businesses, create high-paying jobs, and create solutions to make government more efficient, transparent, and profitable.  

But there is a risk: 50 states can also create 50 vastly different rules from state to state. Disjointed legislating can lead to fragmentation and, unintentionally, more uncertainty for innovators in their state. 

The Digital Chamber State Network is sharing model state legislation to help expand best practices at the state regulatory level, designed as an iterative, adaptable tool that can serve as a starting point for policymakers to build informed legislation rather than start from scratch.  

These models provide a constructive foundation that states can adapt to their own needs while promoting greater consistency across the country on the emerging technology issues defining this generation. 

The Digital Chamber’s model legislation page houses our initial library of bills and addresses several of the most important state-level legislative issues, including: 

• Blockchain & Digital Asset Task Forces to create a structured, informed pathway for states beginning to explore these issues. 

• Stablecoins & GENIUS Act Comparability to help states think through regulation alongside the emerging federal framework. 

• Digital Asset Strategic Reserve Funds with clear standards around structure, custody, and eligible assets. 

• Digital Identity focused on secure identity infrastructure and potential government applications. 

• Virtual Currency & Money Transmission to promote greater consistency across state licensing regimes. 

• AI and Deepfake Transparency to adapt a fully transparent and independent way to prove which images and videos are real and which are AI-generated, increasing trust. 

As we continue working with groups at the state level to educate policymakers on the potential of emerging technology, we remain committed to building bipartisan consensus on key issues and bolstering states’ roles in using blockchain’s potential to grow wealth, jobs, and add security and transparency to government to build a brighter economic future for all Americans.
