Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025
This bill establishes the Department of Commerce as the lead federal agency for blockchain technology policy, designating the Secretary as the principal advisor to the President on blockchain deployment, use, and competitiveness. It creates a Blockchain Deployment Program to develop best practices for security, interoperability, and cost savings, while requiring the Secretary to form advisory committees with industry experts, small businesses, and cybersecurity stakeholders. The bill directly affects federal agencies (through guidance on adopting blockchain) and the private sector (via voluntary best practices for digital tokens and blockchain applications). It mandates annual reports to Congress on implementation progress, emerging risks, and recommendations for future legislation, with the program set to expire 7 years after enactment.
