What Happened:  

On March 24, 2026, Anastasia Dellaccio, Executive Director of State and Regional Affairs at TDC State Network, testified before the Delaware State Senate in support of SCR 143 legislation sponsored by Senator Darius J. Brown and Rep. Michael Smith to create a task force evaluating blockchain and digital innovation policy in Delaware. 

Following her testimony, SCR 143 passed the committee. Delaware continues to lead on financial innovation, demonstrating its commitment to thoughtful, forward-looking policies that support the growth of blockchain and digital technology.

Why it matters: 

• Delaware is home to over 1 million businesses, including 60% of the Fortune 500 companies, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. financial services sector.

• The task force offers a low-risk, low-cost, transparent pathway to explore blockchain applications, engage with industry, and build expertise before adopting policies. 

• States are increasingly shaping digital asset rules as federal policy evolves. 

Dellaccio’s Take: 

“Blockchain studies and task forces such as the one proposed here offer a low-risk, low-cost, and transparent pathway to policymaking in a highly technical and rapidly evolving area. They allow lawmakers to build internal expertise, compare approaches across jurisdictions, engage with industry, and evaluate practical use cases before committing public resources or adopting policies that may become difficult to unwind. If developed in a way that embraces innovation while establishing appropriate consumer protections, this Task Force can provide Delaware with clear, implementation-ready guidance that strengthens the state’s economic competitiveness, supports its workforce, and ensures it remains at the center of modern financial infrastructure.”  

Looking Ahead:  

SCR 143 could lead to pilot programs, regulatory frameworks, new governance structures like DUNAs, and applications in digital identity, supply chain tracking, and modernizing land and property records.
