On January 23, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order laying out his new administration’s vision on digital assets (“the Order”). The Order reflects President Trump’s oft-repeated commitment to make the United States the “world capital” of crypto.
Titled “Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology,” the Order promises to “promote United States leadership in digital assets and financial technology, while protecting economic liberty.” It also seeks to “establish regulatory clarity for digital financial technology,” “secure America’s position as the world’s leader in the digital asset economy,” and drive “innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”
