Arizona, Texas, and Utah Named Blockchain Policy Trailblazers in US

Arizona, Texas, and Utah have been recognized as leaders in the US for their supportive cryptocurrency regulations and growing blockchain industries. A report by Chainlink and the Blockchain Association highlighted these states' strong policies, active task forces, and legislative support for blockchain technology. More than half of US states currently have significant congressional backing for blockchain-related policies, with over a third having dedicated pro-crypto groups. This increased activity at the state level is happening alongside efforts by the US government to clarify crypto regulations through proposed bills like the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. Corporate interest in Bitcoin significantly increased in Q2 2025, with companies adding over 159,000 BTC, bringing the total corporate holdings to approximately 847,000 BTC, valued at $91 billion.
