[CBFL-TRAIL] Supply Chain Resilience in Emerging Technologies
Description
About the Seminar
The United States has announced bold plans in critical and emerging technologies to bolster its national and economic security. One such plan is to create a federal strategic reserve of cryptocurrency; several states have committed to or are considering similar goals. However, the realization of this objective is dependent on two types of supply chains within the Bitcoin mining industry: analogue supply chains, relating to the physical components needed for Bitcoin mining, and data supply chains, relating to the complex and layered logistical network of actors that create input into the software components of a technical system. This Article describes the distinctions between these supply chains, identifies key risks within each and provides a framework for risk assessment, management and disclosures that is relevant for industry actors, investors, and policymakers.
