Blockchain trade association The Digital Chamber recently unveiled its highly anticipated “U.S. Blockchain Roadmap” in a bid to provide much-needed clarity on crypto regulation in the United States. The policy framework, released on March 25, is designed to serve as a strategic blueprint for Congress and the White House to lead in blockchain development and leverage its full potential to advance core national priorities.
With a strong emphasis on financial stability, banking modernization, and national economic strategy, the roadmap urges lawmakers to take decisive action in embracing blockchain technology. The Digital Chamber’s latest initiative outlines six key components that are crucial for advancing blockchain adoption in the U.S.
One of the standout recommendations in the policy framework is the establishment of a strategic bitcoin reserve, the introduction of Bitcoin-backed U.S. Treasuries, and the promotion of dollar stablecoins to maintain the currency’s global dominance. Additionally, the roadmap calls for reforms to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the development of consistent Bitcoin mining policies, research into blockchain applications to streamline government operations, and the clarification of regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC.
Cody Carbone, President and incoming CEO of The Digital Chamber, highlighted the importance of the roadmap as a call to action for policymakers to address pressing issues through blockchain innovation. Perianne Boring, Founder and CEO of The Digital Chamber, emphasized the need for strategic direction to ensure the U.S. remains a leader in blockchain technology.
The announcement of the U.S. Blockchain Roadmap comes just ahead of the annual DC Blockchain Summit, where Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to deliver the keynote address. The involvement of the Trump family in the crypto world, with Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron Trump all playing roles in various crypto ventures, underscores the growing interest and influence of prominent figures in the industry.
In addition to the policy framework release, the Trump-affiliated crypto organization unveiled plans to launch a new stablecoin, USD1, although the exact release date is yet to be confirmed. The intersection of politics and cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly pronounced, with high-profile figures like Donald Trump Jr. advocating for blockchain innovation and regulatory clarity in the U.S.
As The Digital Chamber continues to advocate for legislative action in Washington, the blockchain community eagerly anticipates further discussions and developments at the DC Blockchain Summit. The roadmap sets the stage for potential policy changes that could shape the future of blockchain regulation in the United States, paving the way for enhanced innovation and economic growth in the digital asset era.
