Key Points
- Congress directs the Commerce Department to take the lead on national policy for blockchain tech, tokens, and tokenization.
- Commerce must set up a National Blockchain Deployment Advisory Committee within 180 days of the law taking effect, including federal officials and outside experts (business, academia, consumer groups, cybersecurity, rural voices, and creators).
- The committee would study risks and uses like cybersecurity, fraud reduction, online shopping, health care uses, supply chains, and how federal agencies could use blockchain safely.
- Commerce must keep a public list of recommended best practices and common terms, but private companies are not required to share data or follow the recommendations.
- Commerce must publish a public report to Congress within 2 years of enactment and every year after, plus a final report near the committee’s 7-year end date.
