πŸ›οΈ US Government will put economic data on the Blockchain. Earlier this year, the United States published its National Blockchain Roadmap – the American Blockchain Act of 2025, outlining how Blockchain will underpin government and public services. 🌍 To date, only *15* countries worldwide have developed a National Blockchain Roadmap, signalling a new era of global competition for digital trust, transparency, and innovation. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈThis move by the U.S. Department of Commerce highlights Blockchain’s growing role as a foundation for open government, resilient economies, and citizen trust. #Blockchain #DigitalEconomy #Policy #USA #Innovation #EvidenceBasedBlockchain U.S. Department of Commerce #Blockchain #Economy #Data image
