马里兰州数字资产与区块链工作组再添成员：州长摩尔任命 Hedera 政策主管鲁宾
安纳波利斯消息：马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔任命区块链网络 Hedera 的首席政策官尼尔米尼·鲁宾加入该州数字资产与区块链技术工作组。该工作组由马里兰州议会设立，共15名成员，将研究区块链和加密货币如何融入该州的经济与监管框架。
工作组依据2026年第548号法案设立，法案于今年7月1日生效，由州金融监管办公室负责人员配备和协调。其研究范围广泛：既要梳理区块链和加密货币的基本概念，也要评估其在州和地方政府及私人企业中使用的风险（包括隐私风险）与收益，还要分析加密产业对该州的影响——包括对州税收和能源消耗的影响——并就该技术的使用和监管提出建议。
马里兰区块链协会表示，摩尔州长于今年5月签署了相关立法，法案由该协会与马里兰科技委员会、区块链法律研究所牵头的联盟推动。工作组成员无薪酬，但可报销差旅费用。鲁宾的加入，使这个州级政策小组中多了一位来自行业一线的政策负责人。

Governor Moore Appoints Hedera Policy Chief Nilmini Rubin to Maryland's Blockchain Task Force
ANNAPOLIS — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has appointed Nilmini Rubin, chief policy officer of the blockchain network Hedera, to the state's Digital Asset and Blockchain Technology Task Force, a 15-member panel that will examine how blockchain and cryptocurrency fit into Maryland's economy and regulatory landscape.
The task force was created by the Maryland General Assembly under Chapter 548 of the Acts of 2026, which took effect July 1, 2026; the state's Office of Financial Regulation staffs and facilitates the group. Its remit covers the basic concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrency, the risks — including privacy risks — and benefits of using the technology in state and local government and private business, the industry's impact on the state including effects on state revenues and energy consumption, and recommendations on use and regulation.
The Maryland Blockchain Association said Moore signed the legislation in May 2026, and that the bills came from a coalition led by the association together with the Maryland Tech Council and the Blockchain Legal Institute. Members are not paid but may claim travel expense reimbursement.
