🚀 The U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services has asked the Department of Defense (DOD) to explore blockchain use cases for national security and supply chain management. The committee believes blockchain could enhance cryptographic integrity, improve data integrity, and reduce data manipulation risks. The DOD has been directed to provide a blockchain briefing by April 1, 2025, which will include a plan for pilot programs and an analysis of blockchain adoption in the supply chain industry. Meanwhile, U.S. politicians are advocating for Bitcoin and crypto adoption, defending the right to mine Bitcoin and transact free from government surveillance.
