White House Leads Efforts to Establish Global Tech Standards.

The White House national strategy for emerging technologies includes distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital identity infrastructure, with a focus on building international standards and finding use cases in the economic sector. The strategy aims to increase U.S. leadership in the development of international standards for these emerging technologies, with collaboration between the government and private sector. DLT can find great use in building cybersecurity and privacy-based features and services, and will be actively tested in areas such as smart communities and the Internet of Things.
