On July 30, 2025, the White House released a report outlining regulatory priorities regarding cryptocurrencies, notably excluding plans for a Bitcoin reserve strategy.
White House Crypto Policy and Omissions
The new report highlights regulatory priorities but notably omits plans for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Key figures include President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks. The administration aims to position the U.S. as a global leader in digital assets.
Regulatory Focus and Market Implications
The report targets creating favorable conditions for industry players, emphasizing the need for regulatory clarity, particularly pertaining to stablecoins, without federal asset accumulation plans. This impacts market perception; the absence of direct federal Bitcoin acquisition could significantly shift market sentiments. 'President Trump saw the regulatory assault unfolding against the industry—and he put an end to it faster than you can say 'Gary Gensler',' said Scott Bessent, U.S. Treasury Secretary.
Reviving Crypto Innovation
By signaling a regulatory thaw, the policy aims to revive crypto innovation in the U.S. It supports collaborative frameworks alongside the SEC and CFTC for industry growth. Financial and regulatory changes could inspire new developments in Layer 1 protocols and stablecoin regulations.
The White House report emphasizes the intent to create a stable regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry in the U.S., despite the lack of strategies concerning Bitcoin.
