With an executive order, Gov. Gavin Newsom has placed California first among the states in efforts to create “a comprehensive and harmonized framework” for assessing how state and public institutions can use blockchain technology and build research and workforce development pathways for state residents. Newsom’s order, according to a news release from his office, “aims to create a transparent regulatory and business environment for web3 companies which harmonizes federal and California approaches, balances the benefits and risks to consumers, and incorporates California values such as equity, inclusivity and environmental protection.”
