Crypto Czar David Sacks has confirmed that some big announcements are coming in the US crypto policy ahead. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month asking Sacks and his team to review the possibility of Bitcoin reserve. Since then, the inter-agency Working Group has become active in working on different regulatory requirements with the US SEC and CFTC, coordinating joint efforts.
US Crypto Policy Under Coordinated Efforts, Says David Sacks
With crypto regulations taking center stage in Wahington, concerns about potential overlap among key policymaking groups are surfacing. The SEC’s crypto task force, the CFTC’s pilot program, the Presidential Working Group, and Congress’s Bicameral Working Group for Digital Assets, etc have all been in action. However, this has led to a question of whether too many cooks will spoil the show for crypto regulations.
But crypto policy experts said that there’s nothing much to worry about adding that these groups are actively coordinating efforts and working collaboratively. For e.g crypto czar David Sacks associate Bo Hines met with Hester Peirce, head of the SEC’s crypto task force, and Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham.
At the same time, industry representatives from the Blockchain Association and Digital Chamber of Commerce have also engaged with the task force on topics ranging from ETF staking to stablecoin regulations. Some of these representatives will also participate in a CFTC-hosted CEO forum while addressing the issue of using tokenized assets and stablecoins as collateral in the futures market. David Sacks confirmed this development stating:
“The inter-agency Working Group on Digital Assets is working well together to implement the President’s agenda. Bo Hines is doing a fantastic job as Executive Director keeping everyone coordinated. Some important announcements are coming soon”.
Additionally, as former agency staffers move into Congressional roles, they are forming closer ties. Representatives French Hill and Bryan Steil affirmed that the House’s Bicameral Working Group for Digital Assets is aligned with Senate counterparts and the Presidential Working Group in drafting legislation.
Key Decision Undertaken By Trump Administration
Following Donald Trump taking charge of the White House, his administration has been quick in introducing pro-crypto measures and reversing some of the wrongs of the previous administration.
Soon after Gary Gensler’s exit following the Trump oath-taking, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decided to repeal the controversial SAB 121 accounting rule which prevented banks from working with digital asset firms.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) plans to update its guidelines, enabling U.S. banks to handle crypto assets and provide tokenized deposits without requiring prior regulatory approval.
In the latest development, a U.S. judge has paused the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance for 60 days to allow a new task force to review crypto regulations. A status report is expected by April 14.
