A new study projects the US crypto industry will contribute $55 billion to GDP in two years amid expanding employment and state-level growth.
The US crypto industry is projected to contribute $55 billion to the national economy by 2026, driven by rising employment and state-level expansion. Texas, Washington, and California lead in industry jobs, while Colorado and North Dakota emerge as key hubs due to regulatory and tax advantages.
The report highlights North Dakota’s tax policies favoring crypto mining and flare gas utilization as catalysts for its growth. Nationally, the sector faces headwinds, with several digital asset projects shutting down in 2025 due to scaling challenges and market conditions.
The National Crypto Association, backed by $50 million from Ripple, released the findings as legislative debates over the CLARITY Act intensify.
