House Passes Bipartisan Bill to Cement U.S. Leadership in Blockchain Innovation

Washington, D.C. – This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, bipartisan legislation that positions the United States as a global leader in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT). Sponsored by Representatives Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) and Darren Soto (D-FL-09), the bill directs the Department of Commerce to develop a comprehensive framework to safely and responsibly deploy blockchain technology nationwide– ensuring America remains at the forefront of innovation, cybersecurity, and economic competitiveness.

“Blockchain is more than cryptocurrency; it’s a next-generation infrastructure that can transform how we secure our supply chains, protect sensitive data, and support rural innovation,” said Congresswoman Cammack. "The United States cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while China and other adversaries race to set the global rules of the road. I am proud to lead this legislation alongside Congressman Soto to ensure American innovation leads the way in blockchain development.”

“Blockchain technology is transforming the way we do business, secure data, and power innovation across the globe. With the passage of the Deploying American Blockchains Act, we’re making sure the United States leads—not follows—on this critical frontier,” said Congressman Soto. "This bipartisan effort will strengthen our economy, enhance cybersecurity, and ensure that the development of blockchain technologies reflects American values of transparency, inclusion, and trust.”

Background: 

This legislation establishes a Blockchain Deployment Program to coordinate federal efforts, build public-private partnerships, and support responsible innovation across key sectors. It includes key provisions to designate a lead agency, enhance coordination between federal agencies, and incorporate input from industry leaders, academia, consumer advocates, and rural communities to guide the development of standards and best practices.
