BREAKING:
Trump has stated that he intends to sign major cryptocurrency legislation within this year.
That was the commitment: “this year.”
If enacted, it would be the first time a U.S. president moves forward with comprehensive crypto market-structure reform, including:
A full federal regulatory framework
Clear guidelines for institutional participation
Consumer and retail protections
Defined support for innovation in the digital asset sector
Trump has tied this policy direction to his campaign, positioning it as a significant part of his agenda.
Historical shifts in U.S. monetary policy are often noted for context:
1933: FDR restricted private gold ownership
1971: Nixon ended the Bretton Woods gold standard
2025: Trump is proposing legal groundwork related to digital assets
The timing is being discussed in relation to several broader trends:
Strain within segments of the U.S. banking system
Increased global interest in Bitcoin among some governments
Acceleration of digital finance initiatives in countries such as China and the UAE
U.S. investment moving to offshore jurisdictions
This raises questions about what comes next and how markets and institutions may respond if a presidential administration actively supports an asset originally designed to operate outside government control.
According to this framing, the policy debate is already underway, and the White House would now be part of that process.
