đThe U.S. Commerce Department is set to spearhead a Blockchain Statistics Initiative, the latest push to strengthen Americaâs competitive edge in distributed ledger technology.đ„
Whatâs New:
The Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025ârecently greenlit by the Houseâassigns the Commerce Secretary as the principal presidential advisor on blockchainârelated matters .
đ„The law mandates creation of a Blockchain Deployment Program aimed at standardization, interoperability, and useâcase exploration across federal agencies.
đIt requires submission of annual public reports to Congress, starting within two years of enactment. These reports must include: statistics, emerging risks, longâterm trends, and recommendations to bolster U.S. blockchain competitiveness.
đThe term âBlockchain Statistics Initiativeâ isnât explicitly used in the text, this formalized reportingâfeaturing rich data and trend analysisâwill effectively serve that purpose.
