State opt-in refers to a regulatory approach where individual states or jurisdictions actively choose to adopt specific laws or frameworks for digital assets. This contrasts with a federal or national mandate, allowing states to tailor regulations to their local economic conditions or policy preferences. Businesses often seek to operate in states with favorable or clear opt-in frameworks. It creates a patchwork of regulations across different regions.
