Maryland's move is quite steady—study first, then legislate, with the report not due until 2027, giving the industry plenty of time to observe.

Wu Says reports that the Maryland Digital Assets and Blockchain Technology Workgroup will hold a working meeting during the Maryland Blockchain Career & Innovation Week, which takes place from July 13 to 17. The workgroup was established under House Bill 470, signed by Governor Wes Moore, and is responsible for researching blockchain and cryptocurrency use cases, assessing risks and benefits, and comparing regulatory frameworks of other states. The meeting will discuss the work priorities for 2026–2027, as well as a policy recommendation report expected to be submitted to the governor and the state legislature by October 2027.
