Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025

This bill puts the U.S. Department of Commerce in charge of helping the country lead in blockchain and other shared digital record technology. It makes the Secretary of Commerce the President’s main advisor on this topic and directs the department to set policies, share research, and support a new program to promote safe, useful uses of the technology. Focus areas include cybersecurity, fraud reduction, health care, e‑commerce, and supply chains. It does not force private companies to share data or follow federal advice.

Within 180 days, the department must create advisory groups that include industry, small businesses, academics, nonprofits, consumers, artists, and rural voices. It will develop plain terms and best practices to make these tools easier to use, work together better, and lower risks, and it will support open‑source work. The department must also publish a public report two years after the law takes effect and then every year after. The new program ends seven years after the law is enacted.

• Who is affected: Tech builders, businesses of all sizes, artists and creators, researchers, consumer groups, rural stakeholders, and federal, state, local, and Tribal governments through advisory groups and outreach.
• What changes: Commerce leads on policy; sets best practices; standardizes terms; shares research; supports open‑source; coordinates across agencies; and does not impose new mandates on private companies.
• When: Advisory groups within 180 days; first public report in 2 years, then annually; program sunsets after 7 years.
