The US House of Representatives has advanced a new bipartisan crypto legislation to promote Blockchain adoption in different areas and boost the nation’s competitiveness with federal support.
In February, Republican Representative Kat Cammack introduced HR 1664, also known as the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, to establish a Blockchain Deployment Program, aiming to develop best practices and explore the adoption of blockchain in multiple areas.
According to the bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Representative Darren Soto, the Secretary would be required to serve as the President’s principal advisor for the deployment, use, application, and competitiveness of blockchain and other DLT, and take the actions necessary and appropriate to support the US leadership in this sector.
Additionally, it establishes that the US Secretary of Commerce must encourage and improve coordination among Federal agencies for the deployment of these technologies to offer federal support.
If signed into law, HR 1664 would also require the establishment of advisory committees to support the adoption of blockchain technology in the first 180 days after the date of the Act’s enactment.
Following its bipartisan support, the crypto legislation was received by the Senate earlier this week to continue the legislative process.
Meanwhile, the House’s crypto market structure bill, CLARITY Act, passed its two committee markups at the start of the month. However, the future of both legislations seemed uncertain as some lawmakers pushed to package the two bills together.
Nonetheless, Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott revealed a new timeline for the crypto market structure framework at a press event on Thursday, suggesting an effort to keep the bills separate.
Sacks stated that “President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins,” adding that “July will be a big month, with a bill signing for GENIUS, and CLARITY going to the Senate!”
