Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025

This bill puts the U.S. Department of Commerce in charge of guiding national policy on blockchain.

The goal is to help the U.S. lead in safe, useful blockchain tools and make them easier to use and understand. The Department must publish research and develop common terms so people and businesses are on the same page .

Private companies would not be forced to share data, ask for help, or adopt any suggested measures; best practices are voluntary .
