Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025

Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025 would elevate the U.S. government’s focus on blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). The Secretary of Commerce would serve as the principal advisor to the President on policies related to deploying, using, applying, and maintaining the competitiveness of blockchain and related technologies, including tokens and tokenization. The bill would create a National Blockchain Deployment Advisory Committee within 180 days, bringing together federal agency representatives and a broad set of non-government experts to study deployment issues, security, interoperability, and risks, and to develop a public compendium of best practices. The Secretary would lead ongoing efforts to promote US leadership, national security, and public-private collaboration, and would report to Congress on progress and emerging risks on a regular basis, with a final comprehensive report before the advisory committee sunsets in seven years. Key elements include a detailed set of duties for the Advisory Committee (addressing issues like identity, cybersecurity, AI, fraud, regulatory compliance, health care, and supply chains), a mandate to promote best practices and open-source approaches, and requirements for stakeholder engagement and standardized terminology. The act also includes safeguards limiting government actions on private entities (e.g., not compelling sharing of information or adoption of practices), and sets out reporting timelines to Congress.
