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 several areas. According to the bill, co-sponsored by Democratic Representative Darren Soto, the Secretary would be required to serve as the President’s primary advisor for the deployment, use, application, and competitiveness of blockchain and other DLT, and take the steps necessary and appropriate to support the United States leadership in this sector. These activities include developing policies and recommendations on blockchain deployment risks, while helping promote the national security and economic security of the United States concerning blockchain technology. Furthermore, it stipulates that the United States Secretary of Commerce must encourage and enhance coordination among Federal agencies for the deployment of these technologies to provide federal support. If signed into law, HR 1664 would also require the establishment of advisory committees to support the adoption of blockchain technology within 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. Crypto Legislation Advances In Congress HB 1664’s passage follows the footsteps of other significant crypto legislations in Congress, which have garnered substantial bipartisan support in the two chambers. Recently, the stablecoin-related bill, the GENIUS Act, passed the Senate’s full vote and progressed to the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, the House’s crypto market structure bill, CLARITY Act, passed its two committee markups at the beginning of the month. The future of both legislations seemed uncertain as some lawmakers pushed to bundle the two bills together. As reported by Bitcoinist, House leaders were reportedly pushing to merge the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act to enhance the bills’ chances of passing Congress and being sent to US President Donald Trump’s desk before the August recess deadline. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott unveiled a new timeline for the crypto market structure framework at a press event on Thursday, suggesting an effort to keep the bills separate. According to White House Crypto and AI Czar David Sacks’ summary of the new timeline, the legislation will be introduced before the August recess, followed by a Markup during the first week of September, and its final passage scheduled by the end of that month. 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!’
