Digital Chamber Urges Congress To Act On Blockchain For National Security, Financial Innovation, Energy Independence

Blockchain industry group The Digital Chamber on Tuesday unveiled a comprehensive policy roadmap urging U.S. lawmakers to adopt sweeping reforms that harness blockchain technology to modernize the nation's financial systems, bolster national security, and secure America's position as a global innovation leader.

The U.S. Blockchain Roadmap outlines recommendations across six pillars, including improving financial stability with digital assets, safeguarding decentralization, and advancing energy security through Bitcoin BTC/USD mining.

The framework also calls for legislative action such as passing stablecoin laws, reforming the Federal Reserve’s master account process, and updating privacy protections under the Bank Secrecy Act.

"For the first time, we have the political will and alignment necessary to lead in the digital asset era," said Perianne Boring, Founder and outgoing CEO of The Digital Chamber, who will transition to Chair of the Board in April.

"This roadmap provides the strategic direction to turn momentum into action and ensure the United States leads the world in blockchain innovation."

The policy blueprint comes amid a leadership transition at the Chamber.

Incoming CEO Cody Carbone, currently President, emphasized the urgency of the moment. "This roadmap is a call to action," Carbone said. "It lays out a clear plan for how policymakers can embrace blockchain to solve the U.S.' most pressing issues."

Among its headline proposals, the roadmap advocates for:

• The BITCOIN Act and a national stablecoin framework
• The formation of a self-regulatory organization for digital assets
• Investment in R&D funding to integrate blockchain into government operations
• Reforms to modernize the U.S. banking system and unlock access to blockchain-based financial services.
