- The Department of Commerce will study how blockchain technology can be used to protect consumers. They will look for ways this technology can help prevent fraud and stop companies from using deceptive tricks to sell products.
- The Federal Trade Commission is required to create a report on how they are handling scams involving digital tokens. They will also recommend new laws to help the government better protect people who use or trade digital assets.
