Later this year, the U.S. Department of Defense will give a report to Congress about ways in which blockchain technology might enhance the work of the U.S. military.
The D.C.-based Value Technology Association helped lead the charge in requiring DoD to put together such a hearing, VTA President Jason Brett said in a video interview with CoinDesk at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last week.
"What our Value Technology Foundation worked on was a blockchain briefing," Brett said.
"We wanted the military to look at it so they could invest a long period of time in how the blockchain could evolve into something as strong as the internet."
"It requires the military to share with Congress how there might be some private-sector use cases that might be adopted from the way the military might use the blockchain," Brett explained.
The blockchain language appears in the conference report based on language in Section 255 of Senate Bill 1790, which passed into law on Dec. 20.
This white paper will explain some of the ways that blockchain could be useful.
The Value Technology Foundation is the latest entrant into blockchain advocacy world in D.C., only founded in June 2019.
The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is a media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.
CoinDesk is an independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, which invests in cryptocurrencies and blockchain startups.
