Washington, D.C. – The Digital Chamber (TDC), the Nation’s voice for the blockchain industry, today released the U.S. Blockchain Roadmap: a bold policy framework to ensure the United States remains the global leader in economic competitiveness, national security, and digital innovation. 

Blockchain is more than a financial innovation—it is foundational infrastructure for the digital age. From modernizing financial systems and securing energy independence to strengthening cybersecurity and supply chains, blockchain technology will underpin the next era of American power and prosperity. 

This roadmap provides a strategic blueprint for Congress and the White House to lead in blockchain development and harness its full potential to advance core national priorities. 

The release of the roadmap follows last week’s leadership transition announcement, in which Founder Perianne Boring was named Chair of the Board of Directors and President Cody Carbone was announced as incoming CEO, effective in April. The paper builds on that transition by outlining the organization’s long-term vision for national blockchain leadership and a bold policy agenda for the future. 

“This roadmap is a call to action,” said Cody Carbone, President and incoming CEO. “It lays out a clear plan for how policymakers can embrace blockchain to solve the U.S.’ most pressing issues. TDC is equipped right now to lead the charge in Washington to enact these changes.” 

The U.S. Blockchain Roadmap includes policy recommendations across six pillars: 

• Strengthening financial stability through digital assets 
• Protecting financial freedom and decentralization 
• Leading global capital markets with regulatory clarity 
• Advancing energy security through Bitcoin mining 
• Modernizing the U.S. banking system 
• Exploring blockchain applications for government innovation and national security 

The roadmap also calls for the enactment of the BITCOIN Act, passage of stablecoin legislation, the development of a self-regulatory organization for digital assets, a reform of the Federal Reserve’s master account process, an overhaul of the Bank Secrecy Act to protect American privacy, and a number of other policy recommendations. The framework also proposes the creation of an R&D fund to explore how blockchain can enhance government operations, improve fiscal oversight, and strengthen national security.  

“For the first time, we have the political will and alignment necessary to lead in the digital asset era,” said Perianne Boring, Founder and CEO of The Digital Chamber, and incoming Chair of the Board. “This roadmap provides the strategic direction to turn momentum into action and ensure the United States leads the world in blockchain innovation.” 

The release of the roadmap comes ahead of the DC Blockchain Summit, where Boring and Carbone will outline The Digital Chamber’s vision during a fireside chat titled “Beyond Defense: The Digital Chamber’s Vision for the Next Decade.”

The U.S. Blockchain Roadmap is already earning broad support across the industry. Leading voices from The Digital Chamber’s membership and the broader blockchain ecosystem shared their endorsements of this vision:

“This roadmap is exactly what the United States needs to secure its place as the dominant nation for digital asset innovation and to become the Bitcoin Superpower of the World. The Digital Chamber is leading the way to achieve meaningful reforms in Washington, D.C. that will allow us to win the ‘space race’ for the future of finance.” – Jason Les, CEO, Riot Platforms, Inc.

The U.S. Blockchain Roadmap isn’t just a policy document—it’s a turning point. For the first time, there’s real momentum in Washington to back builders instead of blocking them. At Cryptex, we’ve spent years proving that decentralized finance can be secure, scalable, and meaningful. This roadmap gives innovators the oxygen we need to lead—not just in crypto, but in the future of global finance itself.” – Joseph Sticco, Co-Founder, Cryptex Finance

“It’s a pivotal moment for our industry as the U.S. charts a clear course for blockchain and digital asset policy. We welcome this roadmap as a strong step toward greater regulatory clarity – benefiting innovators, investors, and users globally.” – Dominik Schiener, Chairman of the Board of Directors, IOTA Foundation

“The Blockchain industry has transitioned from an esoteric consideration to impacting mission critical infrastructure. This roadmap couldn’t be coming at a better time and from a better institution and Constellation fully supports The Digital Chamber in this effort.” – Ben Jorgensen, CEO, Constellation Network 

“Zero Hash fundamentally believes that digital assets are a technology, not an asset class. As such, we’re aligned with the Chamber’s US Blockchain Roadmap, which, at its core, represents this truth. The U.S. needs to modernize its financial services laws and clarify the regulatory lines associated with the deployment of digital asset technology to further solidify the United States as the crypto capital of the world and to further ready our economy for the next digital revolution.” – Edward Woodford, Founder and CEO, Zero Hash 

“Bitcoin mining is a critical pillar of U.S. energy security and technological leadership. This roadmap lays out a strong vision to ensure clear, consistent regulations, promote energy abundance, and safeguard American dominance in this strategic sector. Strengthening domestic mining capacity not only secures our financial sovereignty but also fortifies national security by reducing reliance on foreign-controlled digital infrastructure. This is the bold action we need to maintain our leadership in the global digital economy.” – Fred Thiel, CEO and Chairman, MARA

“I’m excited to be part of the momentum around finally getting positive motion on regulatory clarity for crypto.” – Katherine Dowling, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Bitwise Asset Management, Inc.

“As we enter the golden age of financial innovation, it’s imperative that blockchain remains at the forefront of American strategic policy. Blockchains will improve transparency, privacy rights, and innovation in all of our digital systems, and this roadmap is an excellent start in turning that vision into a reality.” – Tarek Mansour, CEO, Kalshi

“CleanSpark is proud to stand alongside The Digital Chamber in advocating for the industry and supporting the U.S. Blockchain Roadmap as a vital guide for advancing a new digital economy. As America’s Bitcoin Miner®, CleanSpark views Bitcoin as both a global asset and a local business — one that drives financial stability while staying decentralized, enhances power grid resilience across the nation, and promotes economic growth in rural communities. The future is happening now.” – Zachary Bradford, CEO and President, CleanSpark 

“The Digital Chamber’s Blockchain Roadmap 2025 offers important guidance on how the United States can lead by example, protecting the financial freedoms of all who decide to participate within the decentralized financial revolution, enabling the potential for modern economic prosperity, however doing so with clear regulatory guidance where recently there was none. On this brave new road towards President Trump’s envisioned ‘Golden Age’, we at Unicoin, a US publicly reporting cryptocurrency company, will proudly play our part in helping to ensure that America becomes the Crypto Capital of the planet.”  – Alex Konanykhin, CEO, Unicoin 

“Now is a pivotal moment for U.S. leadership in blockchain, digital innovation, and national security. This roadmap provides the necessary clarity and direction to help us lead rather than compete. Effective leadership demands vision, policy, and GRIT. The Digital Chamber’s efforts are crucial in this endeavor. We must prioritize blockchain to secure America’s role at the forefront of technological advancement.” – Mariela Dilev, CEO, GRIT Staffing & HR Solutions

“When you look at how breakthroughs really happen—whether it’s the printing press or the internet—they don’t come from working in silos. They come from unexpected collisions: between industries, between ideas, between people with radically different missions. At NDF, we’ve created a platform that does exactly that—aligned with the U.S. Blockchain Roadmap, but designed to provoke innovation through collaboration. By sharing talent and pooling R&D efforts, we’re not just reducing costs—we’re increasing the odds of serendipity, of that one idea that changes everything.” – Eric Adolphe, CEO, Forward Edge-AI, Inc. / National DigiFoundry (NDF)
