Blockchain Coalition Report: The State of Web3 in the U.S. – State by State Analysis
Report | Aug 4, 2023
The USBC, in collaboration with Moonbeam Exchange, has released a report titled "The State of Web3 - Economic Activity Analysis Across the U.S." This report explores the current Web3 landscape within each state, highlighting investment, startup activity, innovation ecosystems, and academic research.
Web3 represents a transformative shift towards a decentralized, user-centric, and inclusive internet. It envisions a future where transactions and interactions occur directly between peers, eliminating the need for intermediaries. Associated with blockchain and cryptocurrency, Web3 is attracting attention from various stakeholders, including developers, entrepreneurs, regulators, investors, and more.
Founded in June 2021, the USBC is the only organization with a multi-state focused approach. It seeks consistent policies at the state level through alignment on public policy and legislative priorities, building relationships with regulatory bodies, and seeking new partnerships to grow the sector across the country.
