Addressing attendees at the Digital Asset Summit via video feed, President Donald Trump made his stance on cryptocurrency abundantly clear: America is poised to dominate the global crypto landscape.
“Together, we will make America the undisputed Bitcoin superpower and the crypto capital of the world,” Trump declared, underscoring his administration’s commitment to fostering digital asset innovation. He also referenced the recent White House Digital Asset Summit, where prominent crypto executives met with White House AI and Crypto Czar, David Sacks, to discuss the future of digital assets in the U.S.
A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve & Digital Asset Stockpile
In a bold policy shift, Trump announced the formation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a U.S. government-held digital asset stockpile. “Instead of foolishly selling them for a fraction of their long-term value, which is exactly what Biden did,” he said, taking a direct jab at the previous administration’s handling of government-owned crypto assets.
Ending the ‘Regulatory War on Crypto’
Trump also vowed to put an end to what he called the “regulatory war on crypto,” referencing Operation Choke Point 2.0—a set of restrictive policies he claims unfairly targeted the crypto industry.
“It was a form of lawfare through government weaponization. Frankly, it was a disgrace,” he said, assuring attendees that such policies officially ended on January 20, 2025, the day he assumed office for his second term.
Calling for Clear Crypto Regulations
Beyond regulatory rollbacks, Trump urged Congress to establish a well-defined legal framework for stablecoins and digital asset markets. He argued that clear regulations would unlock greater institutional investment and technological innovation.
“You will unleash an explosion of economic growth,” he told the audience, emphasizing that regulatory clarity is a critical step toward making the U.S. a crypto-friendly environment.
A Vision for the Future
Trump wrapped up his remarks by reinforcing his belief that digital assets will be a cornerstone of future financial innovation—and that the U.S. will be at the forefront of this transformation.
“It’s going to be right here in the USA, the good old USA,” he concluded, leaving no doubt that under his leadership, the nation’s stance on crypto has dramatically shifted toward aggressive expansion and adoption.
