Bernie Moreno introduced the "Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025" to secure America's foothold as a leader in blockchain technology. According to govinfo.gov , the S. 1492 (IS) bil l was formally referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on Apr 10.
"To require the Secretary of Commerce to support the leadership of the United
States with respect to the deployment, use, application, and competitiveness of blockchain technology, and for other purposes," reads the legislation.
The Department of Commerce would convene a National Blockchain Deployment Advisory Committee to tackle key issues like cybersecurity, supply chain resiliency, fraud, and tokenization.
The legislation would require close collaboration with industry experts, developers, academic institutions, and NGOs to develop a framework of best practices around blockchain use for both federal agencies and the private sector.
It also clarifies the importance of interoperability support, minimizing cybersecurity risks, and promoting implementation strategies that are favorable not only for big businesses but for small ones as well.
Crucially, the bill requires annual reports to the US Congress , reporting on progress, emerging risks, and suggestions for improving US blockchain competitiveness.
Senators Moreno, Blunt Rochester, and Sheehy present the plan as crucial for national security and economic leadership in the digital age.
The bill hints toward a growing understanding among policymakers that blockchain technology can serve as the foundation for America's next century of innovation —especially as Trump enters his 100th day since taking office as the 47th President of America.
Moreno's pro-crypto stance made the crypto industry bankroll his race for the Senate, as per reports . He benefited from substantial contributions from crypto super PACs such as Fairshake and Defend American Jobs, bringing together contributions from Coinbase and Ripple.
