Colorado Arizonian Republican Jared Polis and Democrat David Schweikert have set up a bipartisan project, the Congressional Blockchain Caucus. It will "educate, engage, and provide research" for policymakers as they create a regulatory framework for the implementation of blockchain, or distributed ledger technology. Polis said blockchain could influence "the financial industry, supply chains, cybersecurity and health care", while Schweikert said it was "critical for members of Congress to begin comprehending both its current applications and future use cases".
