In today's Federal Register there's a very interesting request for information from the Office of Technology Policy (OSTP) asking for input to help in the development of a National Digital Assets Research and Development Program. The scope is quite wide ranging, covering distributed ledger technologies (including blockchains), decentralized  financial systems, and crosscutting issues like security and privacy. The request for information is open till March 3, 2023. For details see

My thanks to Gary Price for catching this announcement.
