President Donald Trump has shown support for cryptocurrency as part of his economic strategy, hosting a summit at the White House to discuss plans for a government-owned stockpile of digital assets. This is seen as a significant shift in U.S. blockchain policy. The summit resulted in the establishment of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and a "Digital Asset Stockpile" to process other cryptocurrencies obtained through legal asset seizures. The move has been seen as a step towards integrating Bitcoin into the global financial system. The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also recently softened its stance on banks engaging with crypto, potentially allowing crypto firms to secure banking partners. Legislative attempts are being made to establish holistic frameworks to regulate digital assets. However, implementing regulatory frameworks will take time, and establishing the "right regulatory tone" is crucial.
