President Donald Trump Highlights His Administration’s Pro-Crypto Agenda
Trump highlighted his reputation as the “first crypto president,” a title he considers a great honor. He discussed his administration’s efforts to support the crypto industry, claiming they ended what he called the Biden administration’s unfair restrictions on digital currencies.
Trump emphasized that his policies allowed American innovators to lead in new technological frontiers. He noted the termination of Operation Choke Point 2.0, a program he viewed as limiting crypto growth. His administration also established the first Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets to guide policy.
The speech included details about creating a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. These initiatives aim to position the United States as a leader in the crypto space.
President Donald Trump also mentioned ongoing work with Congress to pass the GENIUS Act, which supports dollar-backed stablecoins. This stablecoin regulatory bill has advanced in the US Senate after a 68-30 cloture vote.
According to him, his administration seeks to provide clear rules for the crypto market, helping America stay ahead globally.
The US president congratulated the summit attendees, recognizing the exciting time for both the crypto industry and the nation. He wished everyone success, expressing optimism about the future of digital currencies.
Coinbase CEO Calls Bitcoin a Check on Global Deficit Spending
President Donald Trump’s speech is proof of his commitment to making the United States a hub for crypto innovation. By removing barriers and promoting clear regulations, Trump aims to ensure the country dominates the global crypto landscape.
The Coinbase Summit brings together pioneers to discuss the future of finance and technology. Trump’s virtual appearance highlights the growing importance of cryptocurrency in national policy.
His administration’s focus on digital assets reflects a shift toward embracing blockchain technology. One of such shifts was the passage of the CLARITY Act. It aims to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.
During the summit, Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong said, democracies around the world are really struggling to get their deficit spending under control. Hence, he suggested that Bitcoin is going to provide an important check and balance on deficit spending. He added that if deficit spending gets out of control too much, Bitcoin could actually end up as the new reserve currency of the world.
