About this briefing

Video description

Congress is beginning to evaluate blockchain infrastructure through a national-security supply-chain framework previously associated with foreign telecommunications technology. A proposed provision in the fiscal-year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act would restrict Department of Defense reliance on certain foreign-linked distributed-ledger systems.
