Washington, DC (May 27, 2026) — Industry leaders, technology advocates, and policymakers will gather today at the Legislative Office Building for New York State Blockchain Day. The education event will focus on the growing role of blockchain technology in government modernization, economic development, consumer protection, and energy innovation.
Hosted by the BSV Association, The Digital Chamber’s State Network, and the NYS Blockchain Council, the event will demonstrate to lawmakers about blockchain technology and emerging digital asset applications from industry experts that could strengthen New York’s economy and modernize public services.
Anastasia Dellaccio, Executive Director for The Digital Chamber State Network, said, “Lawmakers will see firsthand how blockchain technology can reduce administrative costs, eliminate duplicative processes, and bring real transparency to how government serves its constituents. New York’s reputation as a global finance leader will be bolstered by the innovations on display today. The Digital Chamber’s State Network is proud to stand with our partners to ensure policymakers have the tools and knowledge to build a policy environment where that innovation can take root.”
New York State Blockchain Day underscored the importance of connecting policymakers, industry experts, and community stakeholders as the state evaluates how blockchain technology can responsibly support economic growth, government efficiency, and consumer trust.
Today’s interactive demonstrations and discussions with blockchain industry leaders show how blockchain technology can:
- Enhance transparency and accountability in government
- Improve cybersecurity and reduce fraud
- Modernize public infrastructure and digital services
- Drive economic growth and job creation
- Strengthen energy market resilience and sustainability initiatives
Organizers are also discussing the benefits of pending legislative proposals in the New York State Legislature, including legislation to modernize public sector recordkeeping and health information systems through blockchain-enabled infrastructure. Additionally, advocates will address proposals that could slow innovation, investment, and technological development in the state, including legislation impacting digital asset mining operations, data center regulation, and emerging blockchain-based financial platforms.
Through a supportive innovation ecosystem that enables blockchain businesses and digital infrastructure companies, companies can grow jobs and scale in New York, while maintaining strong consumer protections and transparency standards.
