Delaware Makes Its Stablecoin Land Grab

Delaware, long synonymous with corporate incorporation, may extend its reach more fully into digital finance, advancing legislation that could shape where stablecoin issuers and FinTech firms choose to establish their legal base. At the center are Senate Bill 16 , the Banking Modernization Act of 2026, and Senate Bill 19 , the Payment Stablecoin Act. The measures are designed to bring digital assets into statute rather than rely on interpretive guidance or piecemeal rulemaking.
