A new digital asset strategy could transform the US economy by enhancing the dollar's value and cementing the United States as a leader in digital finance.
Categorization of Digital Assets
The proposal suggests introducing new categories for digital currencies, commodities, and tokens, including NFTs. The classifications include: - Digital Commodities (e.g., Bitcoin) - Digital Securities (backed by stocks or bonds) - Digital Currencies (linked to traditional fiat currencies) - Digital Tokens (with specific utility) - Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) - Asset-Backed Tokens (ABTs) (tied to physical assets like gold or oil)
Ethics and Responsibility
The framework proposes building trust through clear rights and responsibilities for issuers, exchanges, and owners. This includes issuers disclosing information and acting ethically, while exchanges ensure trading and custody of assets.

Extensive Capital Investment
The strategy aims to expand the US capital market, allowing millions of businesses to access funding through digital assets. This shift could provide opportunities for small businesses, artists, and celebrities to raise capital, thus reducing the cost of issuing digital assets.
The proposal seeks to position the US dollar as the world's digital reserve. With growing digital markets, American investors could significantly increase their wealth.
