The United States House of Representatives has made significant strides in advancing new bipartisan crypto legislation, primarily aimed at fostering the adoption of Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLT) across various sectors, thereby enhancing the nation’s global competitiveness through federal support. A pivotal bill, HR 1664, officially known as the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, recently passed the US House and has since been received by the Senate to continue its legislative journey.

Introduced in February by Republican Representative Kat Cammack and co-sponsored by Democratic Representative Darren Soto, HR 1664 seeks to establish a comprehensive Blockchain Deployment Program. This program is designed to develop best practices for blockchain implementation and explore its diverse applications. Should the bill be enacted into law, it would mandate the US Secretary of Commerce to serve as the President’s primary advisor on the deployment, utilization, and competitiveness of blockchain and DLT. The Secretary would also be tasked with taking necessary actions to bolster US leadership in this burgeoning sector, including the development of policies and recommendations to mitigate blockchain deployment risks, all while safeguarding the national and economic security of the United States.

Furthermore, the legislation emphasizes the importance of improved coordination among Federal agencies to streamline the deployment of these technologies, ensuring cohesive federal support. A key provision also requires the establishment of advisory committees within 180 days of the Act’s enactment to further facilitate blockchain adoption.

The passage of HR 1664 comes amidst a flurry of other significant crypto legislations gaining bipartisan traction in Congress. Notably, the GENIUS Act, a bill pertaining to stablecoins, has successfully passed a full Senate vote and moved to the House of Representatives. Concurrently, the CLARITY Act, which addresses the broader crypto market structure, has cleared its two committee markups in the House. Initially, there was considerable discussion among lawmakers about potentially merging the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts to enhance their chances of passage and prompt delivery to President Donald Trump’s desk before the August recess deadline.

However, recent developments suggest a shift in strategy. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott has unveiled a revised timeline for the crypto market structure framework, indicating an effort to keep these critical bills separate. According to a summary provided by White House Crypto and AI Czar David Sacks, the legislation is anticipated to be introduced before the August recess, undergo a Markup session during the first week of September, and reach its final passage by the end of that month. Sacks affirmed President Trump’s support for both the CLARITY Act on market structure and the GENIUS Act on stablecoins, signaling that July is expected to be a significant month with a bill signing for GENIUS and CLARITY advancing to the Senate.
